John Milo “Mike” Ford (1957–2006) was an American science fiction and fantasy writer, game designer, and poet. Ford was regarded as an extraordinarily intelligent, erudite and witty man. He was a popular contributor to several online discussions. He composed poems, often improvised, in both complicated forms and blank verse, notably Shakespearean pastiche; he also wrote pastiches and parodies of many other authors and styles. At Minicon and other science fiction conventions he would perform “Ask Dr. Mike”, giving humorous answers to scientific and other questions in a lab coat before a whiteboard.
