BLURB (FROM PROJECT DESTINY):
"One of the things that Justin excels at is writing his characters so well that they shine clearly through the (deliberate) murky situation on this space station. I find I’m not rooting for one side or the other, and I don’t feel any need to because I’m rooting for the characters. I’m about three-quarters of the way through the first book and I still have no idea how it will end. Recommended."

BIO:
Justin S. could watch the Star Wars and Lord of the Rings movies a thousand times and never get bored. In fact, he probably has! It all started with the animated The Hobbit movie on a Thanksgiving day and then diving into all things sci-fi and fantasy. If Jedi Knights, John Williams scores, or tales of Middle-earth can't brighten your spirits, what can?
Most recently Justin wrote on the next Battlefield game at Electronic Arts and served as narrative lead on Galactic Entertainment's PlanetQuest. As a creative with 10+ years of experience as a creative, he specializes in crafting compelling narratives for military, sci-fi, and fantasy genres.
Past credits include such projects as the Game of Thrones and Tales from the Borderlands games and the live-action Roku show Cypher (S2). He narrative designed/wrote and consulted on various mobile and indie titles and co-created the Reclaiming Honor series of novels with Michael Anderle.
Studies included film at Long Beach City College, UCSD Japan Studies, study abroad in Japan, Korea, and Italy, graduate-level screenwriting at UCLA, and an MA in Creative Writing (Fiction) from Johns Hopkins. Participated in the Netflix Animation Foundation program and the Writers Guild Foundation's Veterans Writing Project.
