Michael Poeltl’s bio“Born in Toronto, Ontario, Michael Poeltl earned his diploma in Interpretive Illustration and began a career in the field
while educating himself on the art of writing. Writing quickly became his passion and after completing several shorts,
he undertook his recently published work, The Judas Syndrome.
Drawn to the dark places of the mind, Poeltl often works through his own demons when putting words to paper.
When the author lives the words he writes, experiencing each moment as it passes, it becomes more than a story,
it becomes tangible, something the astute reader will pick up on.
And as with the Yin and Yang, he can appreciate the good in people, and the hope, and the dreams, and the work that is put into building a better life. This too can be found in both his writings, and in his own life. An example of that would be his membership in the Free Masons, where the motto is, ‘Taking a good man, and making him better.’
Poeltl lives in Ontario, Canada with his family, wife Lisa, daughter Tatum and dog Jackson.”

Although Mike Poeltl never intended for The Judas Syndrome to be the first of a series, he caved in to reader demand in the spring of 2010 and began working on Rebirth, a continuation of the popular post-apocalyptic tale that one Facebook reviewer called “a stark and uncompromising vision of the future of our world.”
Narrated by Joel’s girlfriend Sara, Rebirth is a story of survival, betrayal, and hope. After giving birth to their son, whose evident purpose is to fulfill the destiny that Joel had forsaken, Sara realizes that her home is no longer a haven.
Menaced by a power-obsessed Earl and frightened by the deterioration of a once-tight group of comrades, she flees north- into a nihilistic world inhabited by dangerous nomads, new friends, and old enemies.
Early reviewers have commented that Rebirth, while a sequel, is a powerful story in its own right. Poeltl has confirmed that a third book, as of yet untitled, will complete the Judas Syndrome trilogy.
“The series will chronicle the struggles and sacrifices of two generations of post-Apocalypse survivors,” he said recently. “The sins of the father (Joel) fall upon his son and Sara both. The question is- will the legacy he left them ensure their survival or their doom?”
