Spencer Ellsworth has been writing since he learned how. He is the author of the Starfire trilogy, a series of short space opera novels from Tor.com beginning with A RED PEACE. He has also published short fiction in Lightspeed, Tor.com, Beneath Ceaseless Skies and many other places. He hopes to die on the back of a brave mammoth, charging a thicket of enemy spears, with seven chocolate bars in his mouth.
