Author Bio:
Ray Strong grew up on Chicago’s South Side with all its ethnic charm and terror. In college there, he learned how to build spaceships and has since spent his career in high-tech industries.
Ray learned to read using the Little Orphan Annie comic books (yes, really). He first tasted the science fiction of Andre Norton and Robert Heinlein at the 79th Street Public library. As an adult, he bought back issues of Heavy Metal just for “Starstruck” and still hopes for the next episode in the Chanur saga.
Chasing tech and better weather, Ray now lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with his wife, three kids, and three dogs. A geek by nature, he’s saving up for a trip to outer space.
His novels have won awards from Writer’s Digest, the Global eBook Award, and the Reader’s Favorite International Book Award.
