Mike Dickson is a Udemy Best Selling Instructor, published crime fiction author, and entrepreneur based in Minnesota.

He's the author of Criminal Code and Moral Code, the first two books in the Code Series — a crime fiction series following Michael Donatello, a made man with a conscience, as he gets pulled into murders he didn't commit and moral dilemmas he can't avoid. Think The Sopranos meets detective fiction.

Mike runs American Mafia History, a biographical reference site on American organized crime figures, and founded Kryme AI a platform of AI-powered tools built specifically to help crime writers plot smarter and write faster.

His courses come straight from the trenches — real techniques he uses to outline novels, build story structure, and actually finish books. He's taught thousands of students and genuinely loves helping writers figure out the craft side of storytelling.

If crime fiction is your thing, you're going to feel right at home here.
