edit data

Jonathan Nevair is an award-winning author and educator originally from Long Island, NY. After two decades in the classroom, he finally got up the nerve to write fiction.

His spy-fi adventures and character-driven space operas have won numerous awards, including the National Fantasy Fan Federation Award (Neffy) for Best Novel (To Spy a Star, 2024), second place in the 2024 Valorious Awards (Stellar Instinct), and runner-up in the 2022 Indie Ink Awards under the category Writing the Future We Need (Jati’s Wager).

Jonathan lives in southeastern PA with his wife and rambunctious mountain feist, Cricket. When not writing and teaching, he spends his time chasing his dog through the woods and stargazing with dreams of walking in space.

Quotes by Jonathan Nevair (?)

“watched the Mote work the virtual grid. She was a cool customer. A damn good pilot in the chaos. For that he was thankful. She leaned over him, reaching for a set of controls, and winced as her arm smeared the vomit on his chest. “You encouraged me to drink more,” he said in his defense.
