Ryk E Spoor

Ryk E. Spoor was born in Omaha, Nebraska, and has lived in South Dakota, Georgia, New York, and Pennsylvania. Severe asthma forced him to spend most of his childhood reading and, by the time he was six, writing. While he began reading fantasy such as Oz and science fiction starting with Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, it was his 5th grade teacher that sent him on the course that would make him a science-fiction author. He is the author of numerous science fiction novels including Grand Central Arena, Phoenix Rising, and Princess Holy Aura. Ryk Spoor lives in Troy, New York, with his wife Kathleen and their four children.
