Scott Rhine
Scott Rhine wanted to find a job that combined his love of reading with math problem solving, so he studied both short stories and computer languages. As a techno-gypsy, he worked on optimizing some of the fastest and largest supercomputers in the world. A couple of degrees, patents, and children later, at forty-eight, he still didn't know what he wanted to be when he grew up. When his third publication "Doors to Eternity" unexpectedly hit #16 on the Amazon epic fantasy list, he decided to retire from engineering in order to become a full-time author. Humor is a part of every story he writes because people are funny, even when they don't think so. In the real world, something always goes wrong and people have flaws. If you can't laugh at yourself, someone is probably doing it for you. Strong female characters also play a major role in his stories because he's married to a beautiful PhD who can edit, break boards, and use a chainsaw.

“When spreading vicious and damaging gossip about the private affairs of others, one must always use proper grammar and posture.”
“Ray called out, "Weapons ready. Sound off.""Walking stick and shields against animals attacks.""Clean underwear and a rock-salt shotgun," said Winn...”
“Aaron laid a hand on [Winn's] shoulder. "Winston, we're both adults. A duck charity every week? Is that what she told you as a child? Say the words with me: 'coven meeting.'""No...""And the meetings on All Hallows Eve, the solstices, all special meetings for duck wetland emergencies?""Glee club," Winn said weakly."Right. I often take off all my clothes in the moonlight and dance for glee club.”
“The sounds of gunfire didn't bother Winn any more. It just meant that this was the weekend, or a soccer tournament, or someone had a sale on ammunition.”
“As far as how to treat her personally, she’ll teach us how if we let her. But it begins with listening and respect.”
