About The Author

 

Steven Kenneth (SK) Benton was born in
Portland, Oregon. He grew up an avid reader, becoming attracted to
science fiction fare at a young age.

 

He is professionally proficient in at least
six different musical instruments, and works as the CIO of a
telecommunications radio frequency analysis company, having
previously been a computer programmer, artist and teacher.

 

Aside from English, he speaks, reads and
writes fluent Spanish, and has traveled to every continent on the
globe, except for Antarctica and Africa. However, they are on his
bucket list.

 

He is an expert-level alpine (downhill)
skier, and lists his favorite skiing location as Zermatt,
Switzerland. He also rides downhill and cross-country mountain
bikes in the hills behind his Southern California home.

 

Benton has been married to his wife,
Marielena, for nearly thirty years, and has two adult daughters,
both of whom attended university on soccer scholarships and further
acquired MBAs.

 

He frequently uses the names of friends and
family in his books. In fact, Jennie Escalante has his wife's
maiden name, and Liliana's personality is a composite of his two
daughters when they were young.
