James Pray has been writing stories since he was six, holds a BS in Engineering and an MFA in Creative Writing/Fiction, and works as a software developer. Although he tends to file concepts like "Free time" and "Vacation" under "Things that get in the way of writing," he occasionally finds time to enjoy board sports, video games, 3D printing, and growing ghost peppers. He loves all things science, aviation, and space, and lives in Grand Rapids, MI with his wife, two children, and a laser-guided corgi named Benzie.
