ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Steven Harper Piziks was born in Saginaw,
Michigan, but he moved around a lot and has lived in Wisconsin, in
Germany, and briefly in the Ukraine. Currently he lives with his
three sons near Ann Arbor, Michigan.
His novels include In the Company of Mind
and Corporate Mentality, both science fiction published by
Baen Books. He has produced the Silent Empire series for Roc and
Writing the Paranormal Novel for Writer’s Digest. He’s also
written novels based on Star Trek, Battlestar
Galactica, and The Ghost Whisperer.
Mr. Piziks currently teaches high school English
in southeast Michigan. His students think he’s hysterical, which
isn’t the same as thinking he’s hilarious. When not writing, he
plays the folk harp, dabbles in oral storytelling, and spends more
time online than is probably good for him. Visit his Web page at
