ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Theo Cage is the pen name of Russell Smith, a Canadian author. He graduated from University with a Fine Arts degree, fully prepared to live out his life as a struggling artist. At some point however, purely by accident, he fell into the fascinating world of advertising - which led to two decades creating TV, radio and print commercials. His love of technology then led him into programming, computers and the web. He currently works in the IT sector as a senior manager.
Russ is a voracious reader - consuming between 50 - 100 fiction and non-fiction books per year. His favorite writers are Michael Crichton and Elmore Leonard; his favorite topics science and biology. Combining this love of technology and thrillers led to his first novel “Buzzworm”, chronicling a deadly super-virus that infects the US intelligence comm-unity, and “Splicer” which deals with the hazards of biotech research.
Russ currently lives in Oakbank, Manitoba with his nature-loving wife. He is currently working on his next novel and painting whenever he finds time.
