Hello, I’m Michael McDonald, author of the Indiana Fall, Boston Fall, and Massachusetts Fall series, and co-author of New Hampshire Fall with my wife of fifty years, Karen.

A former prison chaplain, missionary pastor, and social worker, I began my writing career at sixty-nine, turning a lifetime of real-world experience into stories of faith, family, trauma, and survival.

My novels—part of The October Fall World series, published by Raventhorne Books—follow ordinary people facing extraordinary choices. I live beautiful New England, often write with two of our eleven grandchildren playing underfoot.
