Mike Calvert
Mike Calvert didn’t take the scenic route—he took the one with landmines, sea storms, and the occasional bar fight. After spectacularly flunking private school and earning a second chance interstate, he clawed his way through his final year of education with more grit than grades. From there, he launched into a life that reads like an action-adventure novel: too many years in the Army, even more years sailing the high seas, and enough travel to make a passport weep.
His career in Security and Defence was less “desk job” and more “dodging chaos with a clipboard.” Between too many weapons, too many wounds, and just the right amount of wisdom, Mike has seen the world from the sharp end of reality. His writing is infused with the kind of resilience you can’t fake and the kind of humour you need to survive it. If you’re looking for polished prose with a few battle scars, you’ve found your guy.
