In 1990, Michael Holmes began his law enforcement career with a sheriff's department. He then moved on to the Savannah Police Department (Georgia). Three years into his
career with the Savannah Police Department, he found himself caught up in the biggest scandal in the history of the city and
department. Working a part-time security detail, Michael Holmes thought
he was providing security for the transportation of diamonds; it turned out to be a much more sinister product. The Twelfth Man Standing
is his account of the incident. According to one Amazon reader/reviewer, “This
was a page-turner, shocker and a must read for anyone wanting the inside track on this explosive incident. The writer wields
incisive yet subtle clarity in conveying this intense narrative. He skillfully places the reader into the very fabric of each
situation. It is difficult to realize that this is the writer's maiden literary effort.”
Michael Holmes’ second book is Black Butterfly. According to the
book description, Black Butterfly chronicles the true-life story of one of Savannah, Georgia's most talented female impersonators
of the 1980s and 1990s. Joe Nathan Williams, under the name of Miss Tiffany Ross, performed in front of standing-room-only
crowds night after night, and was welcomed and liked by all. February 1963, and the place is Savannah, Georgia, a small southern
town the people refer to as "the Garden." A place where folklore and voodoo are still very much alive. Where being openly
gay can cause you major problems.”
