John M Olsen loves to create things through a blend of technical and creative processes, and he dreams of becoming a Renaissance man through his large store of random but irrelevant trivia. He devoured his father’s extensive fantasy and science fiction collection as a teen, forever changing him. John has contributed chapters to several books on computer graphics and game design as well as publishing fiction in multiple genres spanning steampunk, fantasy, science fiction and horror. He lives in Utah with his wife and a constantly-changing subset of children and extended family.
