Notă biografică

Rod has a passion for testing the limits of the improbable. His desire to explore the unknown is born from a love of science fiction that began when he was but a mere seedling on another plane of existence. Whether that consists of transcendence or daydreaming behind a desk is still a matter of heated debate. Beyond a strong appetite for writing fiction, Rod also manages the fraud defense website ownyourdefense.net, blogs for several websites, and enjoys testing the tensile strength of gym equipment. When the construction of fantastic universes with his mechanical keyboard won't satiate his burning desire to create, a heavy set of dumbbells or learning a new fraud prevention technique will do. To learn more about Rod's other cosmic journeys, be sure to check out www.starcruisergalaxy.com. While visiting the website, you'll find more information about the crew, puzzles, summaries of the Adventures of the Starcruiser Galaxy novels, as well as audio and video logs. You'll also find links to other exciting adventures with the Starcruiser Galaxy and its crew including the novelettes The Wereghost Menace and The Vampire Clones of Clegz, a collection of 12 short stories in Galaxy Chronicles Vol. 1 and Galaxy Diaries, as well as the novel Who Blew Up My Ship. Dream big, and the universe will be your playground.
