Born and raised in central Minnesota, Dennis M. Myers developed a serious reading habit early in life due to the influence of his grandmother. In late high school he read one particularly “awful” book and, with all that teenage hubris, decided that he could do better.

After spending a decade in the United States Navy as a submarine sailor, teaching younger sailors, and writing adventures for Challenge Magazine, he settled in Virginia. The next two decades found him writing down story ideas, compiling his thoughts on the universe, and dealing with all the disasters of life. He eventually compiled the ideas he had been saving into a timeline spanning several thousand years. In 2017 the opportunity came to write full time for several months. With the full support of his wonderful wife, May, he began the book that is now known as Final Assembly, the first of four novels in his series, Rise of the Automated Empire. All four are available on Amazon.

Dennis’s novel, Broken Trust, is a finalist for this year’s Webster Award.
