R.E. Stearns
Author of Barbary Station, Mutiny at Vesta, and Gravity of a Distant Sun
R. E. Stearns wrote her first story on an Apple IIe computer and still kind of misses green text on a black screen. She went on to annoy all of her teachers by reading books while they lectured. Eventually she read and wrote enough to earn a master's degree in curriculum and instruction from the University of Central Florida. She is hoping for an honorary doctorate.
When not writing or working, R. E. Stearns reads, plays PC games, and references internet memes in real life. She lives in Denver, Colorado, USA with her spouse and a totally reasonable number of books.
