More often than not, you’ll find Seth Jaffe hiking forest trails with his beloved pooch, Mr. Zixby, dreaming up science fiction stories. Although futuristic concepts are the cornerstone of most sci-fi tales, Seth works hard to make his worlds believable, both scientifically and rationally. Not content to gloss over the little things, he will spend hours meditating on possible eventualities in hopes of creating characters who follow sound judgment. When not writing, Seth earns a living at a biotech company. Before that, he spent almost fifteen years in NASA’s Mission Control, where he was certified on the Space Shuttle and International Space Station. Seth is one of the founders of the AI-Free Certification Project. Other works by Seth inclu ...more
