About Mike Chen

Mike has contributed to major geek culture websites, such as: The Portalist and The Mary Sue. He has ghostwritten corporate articles that appeared in: Forbes, Entrepreneur, and Buzzfeed, as well as others. He has also covered the NHL for mainstream media outlets. Mike’s dream as he was growing up was to either be a veritech fighter (Robotech) or to pilot an X-Wing (Star Wars). It makes sense then that Lucasarts’ X-Wing is one of Mike’s all-time favorite games. A young Mike wrote fan fiction before he knew what it was. A lot of it involved crossovers between some of his favorite franchises, because it made total sense in his head to combine Space Quest and Robotech. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine—The Dog of War Books series, Mike Chen has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
