No Ordinary Joe

When he's not writing or having an adventure, Mike O'Brien works as a seaplane pilot in Ketchikan, Alaska, flying charters, delivering mail, and showing others the beauty of the natural world. The San Jose State graduate and Redwood City, California, native came from a big family of aunts, uncles and cousins, as well as five older sisters. He loves piloting machines, especially those that fly. His interest in science fiction began with reading and continued with building models, watching all things Star Wars and Star Trek, and longing to go, see, and do. He is always looking to add to his life more chapters about travel and exploration.
