The Accidental President is I. Michael Grossman’s seventh book. Grossman’s six other books run the gamut from poetry to an adult children’s book and from fiction to non-fiction. Articles span similarly diverse topics for Advertising Age, Ergo Solutions magazine, The CLIA Cruise Industry Annual Report, The American Banker, and Plane & Pilot magazine. Grossman holds a B.A. and M.A. from Michigan State University. He taught English and Journalism at Oakland Community College before leaving academia for what he was told would be “the real world.” He created The Science of Your Own Success, a course taught at the New School in Manhattan, then started four businesses including Cruises of Distinction and Office Organix. “I sold my last two ventures because I had a book to write,” says Grossman, referring to his memoir, Shrinkwrapped: my first fifty years on the couch. Grossman currently runs EBookBakery.com and helps fellow authors self-publish. His own books have been both traditionally published and self-published. The ‘I.’ is the author’s full first name and not an abbreviation. “I claim no responsibility for the name though I participated in the birth,” quipped Grossman. Michael, his therapist wife Susan and a varying number of four-legged creatures share blessed lives in Rhode Island. The Accidental President is I. Michael Grossman’s seventh book.
