Michael Reuben Goldman is a novelist, storyteller, and student of Jewish legend, inspired by ancient texts, lost kingdoms, and timeless questions of identity and destiny.

A historian by education, a lawyer by training, and a political policy expert by profession, Michael has long dreamed of revealing the untold epic of Jewish sovereignty and greatness in the Late Antique world.

A native of Houston, Texas, with a BA in History and American Studies from Brandeis University and a JD from the University of Texas School of Law, Michael is the grandson of the legendary Rabbi Elazar “Louis” Feigon of Galveston, Texas, and his wife Ethel née Goldberg, a Hebrew teacher descended from the Royal House of David.

Michael lives in Miami Beach, Florida, where he spends his time reading history, learning languages, singing in synagogue—and catching the sunrise and sunset on the seashore.
