Michael Coorlim is a Chicago-based freelance copywriter, author, and screenwriter. He writes for the production company Uncanny Valley Studios. He grew up in Northern Illinois, but has also lived in Colorado, California, Florida, and Oregon, and has worked in fields ranging from IT to security when he’s not writing.
He’s the author of the Barlteby and James series of steampunk mystery shorts, starting with And they Called Her Spider (2011), and continuing with Final Flight of the Rio Grande (2012), and On the Trail of the Scissorman (2012). He’s also written two stand-alone stories, the apocalyptic psychological drama Last Hurrah (2011) and the modern fairy-tale Oh Human Child (2011). His written work tends towards the dark and fantastic, tinged by a somewhat sardonic sense of humor.
Michael Coorlim currently lives in the northern part of the city of Chicago. He practices a brand of Taoist Discordianism (Taoscordianism), is trained in the techniques and practice of modern shamanism, and is a lucid dreamer.
