Profile Information:

Hometown:
Seneca Falls, NY / Key West, FL
About Me:
After thirty years as a professional musician (piano), I left Key West for Las Vegas in 2006 to become a professional poker player.

I have written two crime fiction series: the Key West Nocturnes series and the Jack Barnett/Las Vegas series.

Max Allan Collins has said, "Mike Dennis is a modern master of noir."

In late 2010, I moved back to Key West, where I live with my wife Yleana, whom I married in 2012 on a warm night in Havana, Cuba.

And in mid-2013, I got into audiobook narration and production. I currently have over 35 titles, each live on Audible.com, Amazon, and iTunes. Among them are titles by Lawrence Block, Jim Thompson, David Goodis, JD Salinger, and many others.
