Terry Abbott used to fly Space Shuttles--from NASA's Mission Control in Houston. (Don't believe claims that astronauts do the flying; that's a myth promulgated by the pro-astronaut media.) After working many years as a "rocket scientist," Terry parlayed his expertise in orbital mechanics into writing guitar and game software for the PC. An amateur magician for some fifteen years, Terry's a member of IBM Ring 52, yet he still hasn't mastered the backpalm.
Terry lives with his wonderful wife and daughters in the Seattle area. He is now a full-time writer and Android game developer--or maybe he's just unemployed.
(He also suspects Amazon picks the worst possible frame of the author video to use as the thumbnail!)
