For several years, Essany, an honors graduate of Valparaiso University with a Bachelor\u2018s Degree in political science, has also penned a widely read, popular column for The Times – the second largest daily paper in the State of Indiana.<\/p>\n

In August 2008, Michael\u2018s first book \u201cReality Check<\/strong><\/a>\u201d\u009d was released internationally through Elsevier (Focal Press imprint) and became a bestseller in its category. Essany is also the author of \u201cGroomology\u201d\u009d from SourceBooks (April, 2009), as well as \u201cThe Devil Can\u2018t Cook Spaghetti”, scheduled for a spring 2009 release.\"Bill<\/a><\/p>\n
