Dennis Mustard grew up in Kansas and has made Northern California his home ever since. A graduate of San Francisco State University, he spent much of his career as a software developer working on classified military systems as well as federal, state, and local government projects.
Though his professional life was steeped in technology, Dennis has always been drawn to storytelling—crafting narratives, diagrams, and presentations that blended logic with creativity. Writing fiction became his way to explore the 'what ifs' that science and life continually present.
When he’s not writing, Dennis enjoys cycling, swimming, and hiking the trails near his home. A lifelong dog lover, he delights in teaching dogs to understand words and requests, and often spends time caring for a relative’s pup who has adopted him as an honorary pack member.
