Short Biography of Jeff Carlson:
Jeff Carlson was born on the day of the first manned moon landing and narrowly escaped being named Apollo, Armstrong, or Rocket. His father worked for NASA-Ames at the time, and his granddad on his mother's side was a science fiction fan whose library included autographed copies of Isaac Asimov's Foundation trilogy.
Both men were strong, early influences—and in the high tech 21st Century, it's easy to stand with one foot in reality and the other in sci-fi. Jeff's writing alternates between mainstream and genre fiction.
Jeff is the international bestselling author of the Plague Year trilogy, hailed by New York Times blockbuster James Rollins as "Harrowing, heartfelt, and rock-hard realistic. Not to be missed." He is currently at work on a new stand-alone thriller. Other stories and nonfiction articles have appeared in leading venues such as Boys' Life, Asimov's Science Fiction, and the Fast Forward 2 anthology.
To date, his writing has sold in fourteen languages. The Plague Year novels have been translated into Spanish, German, Romanian, Czech, and French. His short fiction has also appeared in most of those languages as well as Esperanto, Estonian, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Portugese, and Turkish.
Jeff lives with his wife and sons in California.
