Michael Koryta began writing at a very early age: "Michael Koryta does not fool around. At the age of 8, he began corresponding with his favorite writers. At 16, he decided he wanted to be a crime novelist—and later in high school started interning with a private investigator. When his crime novel "Tonight I Said Goodbye" won the St. Martin's Press/PWA Best First Novel prize, he had yet to reach legal drinking age."[1]
