My Bio,

Vance MacLean is a former computer scientist and game programmer who has been a professional sci-fi writer since 2010. He is highly educated, followed classical grammar school, and played classical music at a very early age. These elements have combined to create an insightful, highly motivated, and intelligent novelist, who combines literacy, popular writing, and drama into gripping, intellectual, and exciting sci-fi. His work is inspired by writers such as Dan Brown, Dan Simmons, Frank Herbert, and others, and contains a load of elements such as science and philosophy, future and history, eroticism and psychology, politics and war, and much more. His work is all-encompassing and contains almost everything literary imaginable.
