edit data

At a young age, Steve Grobschmidt fell in love with science fiction and fantasy because of classics like Star Wars, Blade Runner, Star Trek, and Raiders of the Lost Ark.

The Inspiration Behind The Character Darrow

One of my favorite characters to write in the Gamma Trita series is the mercurial mercenary Darrow. I've gotten some feedback from readers echoing their appreciation for him too.

How did I come up with him?

There was always a plan to have a hired gun under the employ of Marco Deed, helping out at the end of Gemini Girl and beyond. However, a revisit to a favorite old sci-fi show over the holiday sea Read more of this blog post »
