About the Author.

New York Times Bestselling author of Star Wars: Shadow Games and Star Wars: The Last Jedi (collaborations with Michael Reaves), Maya became addicted to science fiction when her dad let her stay up late to watch The Day the Earth Stood Still. Mom was horrified. Dad was unrepentant. Maya slept with a night-light in her room until she was 15.

She started her writing career sketching science fiction comic books in the last row of her third grade classroom. She was never apprehended. Since then her short fiction has been published in Analog, Amazing Stories, Century, Realms of Fantasy, Interzone, Paradox and Jim Baen's Universe.

Her debut novel, The Meri (Baen), was a Locus Magazine 1992 Best First Novel nominee (also available as a trade paperback from Sense of Wonder Press and an eBook from Book View Cafe). Since, she has published ten more speculative fiction novels, including collaborations with Marc Scott Zicree and Michael Reaves.

Maya lives in San Jose where she writes, performs, and records original and parody (filk) music with her husband and awesome musician and music producer, Chef Jeff Vader, All-Powerful God of Biscuits. The couple has produced five music albums: RetroRocket Science, Aliens Ate My Homework and Grated Hits (parody), and the original music CDs Manhattan Sleeps and Mobius Street. To top it off, they've also produced three musical children: Alex, Kristine, and Amanda.
