He is not being coy; at the time this was written, he simply had no idea where he would be by the time you read this. He obtained his M.A. in English at the University of Connecticut, and hopes to pursue a career as a scholar, specializing in British literature, especially its intersection with science and technology. Also in that gap of time, he will have gotten married to his then-fiancÉe, Hayley. He has met Michael Schuster on more than one occasion.MICHAEL SCHUSTERlives in a picturesque Austrian mountain valley, with half a continent and one entire ocean between him and Steve Mollmann. A bank employee by day, he likes to come up with new (or at least relatively unused) ideas that can be turned into stories with loving care and the occasional nudge. With Steve, he is the co-author of two short stories in the anthologyStar Trek: The Next Generation: The Sky's the Limit. Their first novel,The Tears of Eridanus, will be released as part of the collectionStar Trek: Myriad Universes: Shattered Lightthis December. Currently, the two are hard at work building their own universe-sized sandbox to play in. More information about them (including annotations forThe Future Begins) can be found at http://www.exploringtheuniverse.net/.Dayton Ward served for eleven years in the U.S. Marine Corps before discovering the private sector and the piles of cash to be made there as a software engineer.
