Mike Fontana has worked in aerospace engineering for over 25 years, designing and manufacturing structures for both spacecraft and aircraft. He received his engineering degree at California State University, Long Beach and played baseball for the Dirtbags (where he still holds records today). After college he was drafted by the California Angels but his professional career was cut short from an unfortunate knee injury.

After baseball, he worked as an engineer for Hughes Aircraft, Boeing Satellite Systems and General Atomics. He finally returned to his true passion, creative writing in 2020 and is looking forward to the release of his debut novel in 2025.

Mike is a cancer survivor and when he's not writing, he enjoys spending time with his family, gardening and teaching young baseball players how to pitch.
