Michael Watt fancies himself more of a storyteller than a novelist. A lifelong Long Islander, his career can best be described as an ongoing series of adventures, some more successful than others. He lives in Babylon, New York, with his wife of 40 years, Sharon Greaney-Watt. They have two sons, Alex and Max. Lovers Own The Silence is his first novel.

Michael's books are available for purchase at the Neverending Story bookstore in Babylon Village, and at the merchant links listed below.

Lovers Own the Silence is a haunting, slow-burn novel about secrets that refuse to stay buried, the seductive pull of power, and the quiet resilience of a woman on the edge of reinvention.

When a wealthy executive dies suddenly, single mother Grace Duffy finds herself drawn back into the shadows of her past-into a world of whispered betrayals, old debts, and dangerous alliances. As she tries to protect the life she's built for herself and her son, Grace is forced to confront a secret she once shared in a moment of weakness…and the widow who might use it to control her.

With a promotion on the line, a tempting offer she may not be able to refuse, and a magnetic man who stirs up everything she's trying to suppress, Grace must navigate a landscape where silence is currency-and love, loyalty, and ambition are all up for grabs.
