An avid reader from an early age, Simon Cantan loved to get lost in the worlds that Piers Anthony, Douglas Adams, and others created. When he read Harry Harrison's "The Stainless Steel Rat Gets Drafted" at the age of thirteen, he knew he wanted to write, and has been pestering people about it ever since.
Two decades later, Simon has published several books, including the "Bytarend", "Black Silicon", and "Kyra Sarin" series. He continues to write science-fiction and fantasy, usually with a humorous slant to it.
