My name is Michael, but many call me James or Giackino (original spelling Giaccino). I was born in Aviano, Italy and lived there for four years before moving to Michigan where I lived for two short years. From there I moved and was raised in Alabama. I am a writer who deals with the darkest aspects of humanity, who delves deep into the conscious and subconscious of the mind. I have been published in fifteen different magazines (thirty times total) and have published four books of poetry. I am also editing my first novel and am trying to get that published by the same company. They like the novel and say it could be published by this summer.
