Mark William Chase lives near Indianapolis with his wife and the occasional foster kid. There he spends most of his free time reading science fiction and fantasy, keeping up with the latest news in science and technology, and writing the kinds of stories he most enjoys reading. At his day job, he works as a software architect developing cloud-based financial and banking applications.
