Mike Chen is a lifelong writer and author of "Here and Now and Then" and "A Beginning At The End."
Chen started his writing career early with his own fan fiction. In college, he took creative writing alongside his engineering degree, and also began freelancing about the NHL for various sites. This led to a long career of writing technical/marketing copy and developing WordPress websites while covering NHL and international hockey for some of the biggest names in sports: Fox Sports, SB Nation, and Versus (now NBC Sports Network).
Chen has always been a storyteller at heart, and although he loved writing about his favorite sport while earning a living from tech writing, his head was constantly filled with stories. Today, he's found his niche, blending science fiction elements and themes with a more grounded and intimate story.
In his stories, there are no epic wars or fate-of-the-universe events; instead, they're tales of family and friendship and humor that just happen to have some time travel or an apocalypse.
