edit data

John W. Maly is an author and futurist. With degrees in computer science, computer engineering, and law, he works in the field of intellectual property (a world every bit as magical and strange as any of his stories). His hobbies include long-distance motorcycling, caving, scuba diving, collecting tektites, pinball/video game restoration, and judging rum festivals. He resides near the Bermuda Triangle with his extraordinary daughter and a growing collection of strange beasts. He does not put ice in his whisky, nor should you.

JURIS EX MACHINA, winner of the Indies Today award for best 2024 Science Fiction novel, is his first book.
