Michael Courter, aka Mercian, has been playing guitar for 20 years. His style mixes a diverse array of instrumentals with singer/songwriter prog-folk-classic rock. Motivated by original music, he delivers with a creative and tasteful, guitar-centered approach. When not playing guitar or writing music, Michael can be found writing novels. He is currently self-publishing the first book in his "Farewell to Kings" series, and writing the second novel, with cover artwork by friend and fellow fantasy novelist, Sasha Raught.
