USA TODAY bestselling author, M.A. Rothman, has always been a creative type with a strong background in science and math. He's used those strengths to great effect in Silicon Valley over a 30+ year career; yet never expected to exercise them in any literary domain. More than a few handful of years ago he had kids, and the bedtime stories began flowing. From these stories bloomed an accidental writing career. As a well-traveled engineer, with a strong background in the sciences, this accidental novelist began writing stories that focused on two things: technology and international intrigue. His writing spans the genres of science fiction, techno-thriller, and his own unique spin on epic fantasy. When not writing, he enjoys cooking, learning about new technology, travel, and spending time with his family.
