- BiographyMarc D. Giller wrote his first science-fiction novel at the tender age of sixteen, with the certainty of fame and riches before him. When that plan didn’t work out he went to college instead, earning a bachelor of science degree in journalism from Texas A&M University. A year in the news business only increased his fascination with making stories up for a living, so he tried a few other genres—horror, thriller, historical fiction—when a script he wrote for Star Trek: The Next Generation earned him a chance to pitch ideas for the show. Though none of those stories aired, he fired off a few more novels and screenplays until HAMMERJACK finally caught the attention of Bantam Spectra. Over the years, Marc has worked as a photographer, producer, computer trainer, and even had a one-night stint as a television news reporter. For the last several years, he has worked in information systems management. Marc makes his home in the Tampa Bay area of Florida, where he lives with his wife and two children.

- PurchaseWhere to Buy Probably the most surreal part about getting your novels published is actually seeing them on some bookstore shelf. After a while, you think you’ll get used to it–but no matter where you go, you always end up looking around to see where they put your babies (and hastily arranging them so that the cover always faces out, the better to catch the eye of passers by). I’ve spotted HAMMERJACK and PRODIGAL all across the country–in stores large and small, on airport news stands, hanging out in libraries and even a Wal-Mart or two. You can usually find copies at Borders and Barnes & Noble, if you’re into the brick and mortar establishments, but internet junkies can also get a fix by clicking the links right here.
