I am a husband, father, author, teacher, workshop presenter, and follower of Christ. I write stories of faith and family, love and loss, heartache and triumph. My passion is reaching people through the power of story, to entertain and encourage, exhort and inspire.
Born in Baltimore, MD, and raised mostly in small towns in Pennyslvania, I have become an observer of people–a “peoplologist.” I’ve wrestled with stuttering for most of my life, eventually finding my voice through the written word, and battled and beat colon cancer.
My wife and I are doing our best to raise our four daughters. She homeschools the three oldest and I work full-time in homecare physical therapy.
I have a heart for those struggling with life as it is lived, those who are weary of the journey, fearful, anxious, lost. Those who have been faced with a mountain that seems unclimbable.
I’m just a man, doing my best to love my family and honor my God. I fail, I stumble, I mess up big time . . . but by God’s grace I get up and try again, keep plodding along, and hopefully, offer some encouragement to others along the way.
My first novel, A Thousand Sleepless Nights, releases everywhere on October 16. Be sure to check it out.
**(Michael King is the pen name of author Mike Dellosso. As Mike Dellosso I write stories of suspense and intrigue, as Michael King . . . stories of faith and family).
This blog is all about life as it is lived in the real world. The triumphs and heartache. The joy and sorrow. We’ll cover topics that include family life, parenting, marriage, work, relationships, godliness, and Christian living. Stuff everyone deals with.
This blog is about honesty and transparency. No pretense here.

Hi Mike. Gabe Paoletti here. Look forward to our 15 minutes together today at 10:15. Four Daughters, full-time homecare physical therapy and dealt with the big “C.” Amazing that you make the time to spread God’s word through your writing.
