Glen C. Strathy has been an actor, a teacher, and since 1999 a professional writer. He is the author of the IPPY award-winning middle-grade novel, Dancing on the Inside, co-author of a New York Times Bestselling business book, and spent over a decade as a freelance writer and creative writing teacher. Since 2008, his website, www.how-to-write-a-book-now.com has offered tips and advice to aspiring authors. But before any of that, at a young age, he became an avid reader of science fiction. Classic works of space opera and science fiction adventure from the 1950s and 1960s percolated in the back of his head, eventually becoming the inspiration his more recent fiction. Glen lives with his wife and daughter in Kingston, Ontario, Canada.
