About The Author

As a kid, Rann Murray's parents signed him up for a subscription to the Science Fiction Book Club, bought him a Robert the Robot toy with a fancy control module, and then got him a telescope. So how could a spoiled brat like that not end up writing science fiction? His background as a computer store owner and astrophotographer with a lifelong interest in science sprang from those early days. Rann graduated from Michigan State University and lives in the Great Lakes State with his wife and three spoiled cats. Rann's short stories have appeared in Bewildering Stories and Small Town Anthology.
