D. M. C. Shaw

D. M. C. Shaw grew up being enthralled by science fiction action and adventure movies. He wrote many fantasy and science fiction short stories when he was younger and dreamed of a day when he would see his stories become reality.

Life took him a different, still wonderful, direction and he found a career in business consulting. His work allowed him to travel the world which helped him develop an appreciation for many different countries, cultures, and people. These new friends and experiences help shape the world of "The Maker War."

He also started a family and, as his children began to grow, they helped him rekindle his desire to tell fantastic stories. After playing with the idea of his made-up sci-fi universe and characters for many years, he decided to finally bring Zavier and the Maker Corps to life.

D. M. C. has dealt with ADHD throughout his life, so the experiences of characters in this book reflect many of his own. Thanks to the help of caring therapists and doctors, he has learned how to find success in life, and how to “stay fluid.” He regularly encourages those with similar issues to seek the same help.

He lives in the shadow of Utah’s Rocky Mountains with his wife and three children. When he’s not writing sci-fi books, he’s still paying the bills with business consulting. And when he’s not doing that, he enjoys spending time with his family, playing video games, and getting lost in sci-fi and adventure movies…just like he did when he was young.
