AUTHOR BIO

Otis Goodwin was born in Birmingham, Alabama, USA in 1935. His early years were in a small southern town, with summer celebrations, church exposure, swimming in muddy creeks, bicycling through countryside, hayrides, football, and summers working on a farm.

The B. B. Comer Library was an important part of the Author’s life after WWII. The patient librarians there guided him through books by authors such as H. G. Wells, Jules Verne, Roy Rockwood, Robert Heinlein and Ray Bradbury. That reading stimulated interests in a career of with the US Government in the business end of aerospace technology. The language of missiles, and spacecraft became very familiar.

After the career, there was time to write. There was nothing better to write than an up-to-date version of the "Golden Age of Sci-Fi" type of stories that evoked the young boy’s inquisitive streak and led to the interesting, and exciting career of the youngster from the Deep South. “Ethan - Site 39” is but the foundation novel of a continuing story. The second novel in the series is "Site 39, Blue Orb. Additional "Site 39 Series" novels are well along and pending publication.

The author is retired in the state of Washington with his wife of 35 years, Elizabeth and their Border Terrier, Darby of Klicreggan.
