Todd J. McCaffrey is a US Army veteran, a cross-continent pilot, a computer geek, and a New York Times bestselling author. He feeds his weirdness with books, large bowls of popcorn, and frequent forays to science fiction conventions. He is the middle son of the late Anne McCaffrey and is proud to list among his credits eight books written on Pern — including five collaborations. His near-future AI thriller, City of Angels, will be published in May by Wordfire Press. His short story, Golden, is the first of many fantasy stories in a world of shape-shifting dragons.
