Howard Berenbon is an electrical engineer with a computer hardware and software background. He earned his Bachelor of Science Electrical Engineering from Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. After working at Chrysler Corporation for 8 years he went on his own. In the 1980s he authored a series of books, published by Howard W. Sams & Co, Inc., on Basic language computer applications entitled "Mostly Basic: Applications for your Apple 2" which were then converted to IBM PC and other popular platforms. His Internet presence includes Cyber News & Reviews, a Website launched in 1995 specializing computer product and technology reviews. In 2016 he started a Youtube Channel, Cyber Times LLC, with tech, gaming and puppet videos. Also, from 1991 through 2012 he was a stay-at-home dad for his two children, Sarah and Rebecca, and they were influenced by his love of computers and the Internet.

His very first fiction novel was published in January 2018 called Caught in Time. It's about a group of scientists in Michigan who teach a college history course using holographic simulations that appear to transport the class back in time. But is it a simulation?

His second novel, Casinos in Space, was just published as an eBook for Kindle. It's about a group of scientists who travel on a starship to a distant planet for gambling and relaxation. While on the ship, they spend their time in a replica of the Las Vegas Strip for gambling, and eat at Las Vegas style buffets and fine restaurants. Paul Erickson, one of the members, reluctantly goes on the vacation because he was depressed by the death of his brother from brain cancer. Right from the start, Paul was acting erratic and his friends were concerned. And to their surprise, Paul went missing, nowhere to be found.
