About the Author

In the words of Lord Byron, "If I don't write to empty my mind, I go mad." So, I write action packed, future-fiction that's fun and refreshing to read. ABOUT PAUL M. SCHOFIELD: "In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous." Aristotle Born and raised in Montana, immersion in the natural world around me was inevitable. As I grew up, I learned the complexities of language and the joy of humor by exchanging puns with my father. Just as Mark Twain said, "against the assault of laughter nothing can stand." An avid reader, my favorite genre was science fiction by authors like Isaac Asimov and Frank Herbert and fantasy by J.R.R. Tolkien. Coming of age just in time to watch Star Trek, Star Wars and Babylon V, my love of science fiction grew and my desire to craft and share my own stories was ignited. And since, as Maya Angelou once said, "there is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you", I became a writer. When I became chilled to the bone in Montana, I moved to Florida, where I became quite well done...urr, seasoned. Now my wife Ellen and I live in western North Carolina with our highly intelligent cats, contentedly fulfilling our role as "halfbacks". "Science fiction writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not." Isaac Asimov About my books: My action-packed books feature time-travel, chase and battle scenes, fusion powered star-ships, a computer-controlled society, tender moments and scary episodes. They are free of explicit sex, profanity, graphic violence and paranormal themes.
