M. Pax-- Fantasy, science fiction, and the weird beckons to me, and I blame Oregon, a source of endless inspiration. I docent at Pine Mountain Observatory in the summers and have a cat who has a crush on Mr. Spock. You can find out more by visiting my website: mpaxauthor.com

A big huge thanks to you and to my fans.
I also want to thank the special places in Oregon inspiring Settler: Fossil, Ashwood, Antelope, Shaniko, and Newberry Volcanic National Monument.
For Oregonians — although Settler is based on places I’ve visited, it is fictionalized and I took some liberties to create the ideal setting. Therefore, some details will ring true and some are not the same as reality.
