Dr. Michael J. Deeb was born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan. His undergraduate education was completed at Aquinas College. He earned a Master's degree from Michigan State University and a Doctorate from Wayne State University. He was an educator for nineteen years, most of which saw him teaching American history. His personal life found him as a pre-teen spending after school time regularly at the Grand Rapids Public Library waiting for the YMCA across the street to open. His favorite section of the library was the one devoted to non-fiction history. Teaching at the college, university and high school levels only increased his passion for reading and research. Since 2005, he and his wife Sally Dittman have lived in Sun City Center, Florida. In the fall of 2007, he finished the Civil War era historical novel Duty and Honor. This began a series of books featuring a Lowell, Michigan farm family and their son who went off to war. The sequel, Duty Accomplished, was completed in 2008. Honor Restored was made available in 2009. The Lincoln Assassination was published in 2011 and was followed by 1860 in 2012.
