With six critically acclaimed novels, multiple works of non-fiction, a record setting TV movie, and several motion-picture scripts in the production pipeline, author and screenwriter Michael Walsh has achieved the writer's trifecta: two New York Time best-sellers, a major literary award, and the Disney Channel's then-highest-rated show - Cadet Kelly, starring teen idol Hilary Duff of "Lizzie McGuire" fame. His most recent book, The Fiery Angel (Encounter Books, 2018) continues his cultural and literary study of the heroic principle in western civilization, functioning as a sequel to The Devil's Pleasure Palace (Encounter Books, 2015), which was a surprise breakout hit upon publication. Examining the nature of good and evil via such analytical tools as Milton's Paradise Lost, Goethe's Faust, the Frankfurt School, and the music of Richard Wagner, the work made multiple best-seller lists. Michael, a foreign correspondent during the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union, will discuss the recent talks between President Trump and Kim Jong-Un and how the media is portraying the outcome.
