Michael Jensen is the author of two gay historical fiction novels, Frontiers (Pocket Books 1999) and Firelands (Alyson, 2004).

Mr. Jensen is the co-founder of IGLOO, a gay and lesbian employee group that successfully fought to bring domestic employee benefits to the airline where he has worked as a flight attendant for fifteen years. In addition, Mr. Jensen also co-founded a successful gay and lesbian authors group that has brought together a diverse group of writers to help promote gay and lesbian fiction.

He is currently researching his next historical novel.
