About The Author
J.R. Macklem writes science fiction for readers who love bruised hearts, smart mouths, and the occasional alien monster. Based in Eugene, Oregon, with two orange cats, he tells stories about survival, found family, and the stubborn human instinct to do the right thing—even when it hurts. His Starfall series is a gritty, cinematic space opera that explores what it means to be human through characters who grow, break, and choose each other anyway.
When he’s not writing, he gardens, runs tabletop role-playing games, and juggles—sometimes literally, always metaphorically.
