John Milo "Mike" Ford (April 10, 1957 – September 25, 2006) was an American science fiction and fantasy writer, game designer, and poet. He contributed to online discussions and composed poems, often improvised, in both complicated forms and blank verse. Ford also wrote pastiches and parodies of other authors and styles. At science fiction conventions such as Minicon, he performed "Ask Dr. Mike," offering humorous answers to scientific and other questions while dressed in a lab coat and using a whiteboard.
