I've copied and pasted my bio from my latest book below. (I didn't want you to think I always refer to myself in third person.)
J. Michael Martinez currently works as a corporate attorney and teaches political science as a part-time faculty member at Kennesaw State University in Kennesaw, Georgia. A member of the bar in Georgia and South Carolina, Martinez earned a B.A. in philosophy and political science from Furman University, a law degree from Emory University, an M.P.A. from the University of Georgia, an M.S. in public policy from the Georgia Institute of Technology, and a Ph.D. in political science from Georgia State University.
In addition to publishing more than a dozen articles in academic journals and popular history magazines, he has co-edited and contributed chapters to three academic texts: Ethics and Character: The Pursuit of Democratic Virtues (Carolina Academic Press, 1998); Confederate Symbols in the Contemporary South (University Press of Florida, 2000); and The Leviathan’s Choice: Capital Punishment in the Twenty-First Century (Rowman & Littlefield, 2002). His most recent book, Life and Death in Civil War Prisons (Rutledge Hill Press, 2004), traces the parallel lives of two Civil War prisoners. Martinez lives in Monroe, Georgia, with his wife and family.I just finished a book, Carpetbaggers, Cavalry and the Ku Klux Klan. It's currently at the publisher's and it will be available in March 2007.
