More About the Author

Kindle readers: Would you like a glimpse behind the scenes of my writing of The Chaos Chronicles? The ebook versions of Neptune Crossing, Strange Attractors, and The Infinite Sea now include all-new Afterwords--my reflections on the evolution of the series and my experience in writing each book. I've kept the prices low on these editions to encourage you to give them a try if you're new to my work. I hope you enjoy them!

Here's a little about me:

A Midwesterner by birth and upbringing (I grew up in Huron, Ohio), I've lived in New England ever since attending college at Brown University, in Rhode Island. Now I live outside Boston with my wife and daughters, and also with a boxer named Hermione and a cat named Moonlight.

I've loved science fiction since I first began to read, and from the time I began writing, I always knew my first love was going to be SF. I'm not sure where you'd place me as a writer: I love astronomy and cosmology and hard SF concepts, and yet the characters are the most important thing to me in any story, whether it's a story I'm reading or a story I'm writing. It's the people, and the sense of wonder, that have always made science fiction--and science!--so awe-inspiring to me. Basically, I have always tried to write stories that I would want to read myself.

Some years ago, I developed and hosted on the air an educational TV series fo r middle-school classrooms, called Writing Science Fiction and Fantasy--teaching kids the basics of how to turn ideas into stories. That later turned into a computer-based course called, oddly enough, Science Fiction and Fantasy Writing. In 2005, I decided it was about time to put the information online as a public service, available for free to any aspiring writer. It's online now, and you can use it anytime you like, just by going to http://www.writesf.com.

I also invite you to stop by and read my regular blog, at http://starrigger.blogspot.com, or my web site at http://www.starrigger.net.

Thanks for visiting! And please take a look at the video trailer for my novel Sunborn. If you'd like to view it in full-screen for full effect, you can do that at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K03RMcSeiY4.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly GREAT!!, January 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Panglor (Paperback)

A very well told tale of a bored pilot who just wants to be left alone, but no; he will find himself in an adventure (or mess) of a lifetime. The storyline is easy to follow which makes reading very pleasureable. I recommend this book to all sci-fi lovers.

Jeffrey Carver weaves such an interesting story and spins it with such lovely writing that it is very hard to set my Kindle aside. Carver's books are my "treat" to myself. They are the perfect novel to lose yourself and enter a nicely detailed world for however long you wish. I loved the book from start to finish, and am now looking forward to the rest of the series.
About the highest praise I can give Jeffrey Carver is this: I hate Sci-Fi, but I love Carver's novels! So if you have never read anything in the Science Fiction genre, try this novel or his Chaos Chronicles series.
