C.J. Carella grew up in South America and bounced around assorted parts of the US. He's been making up stuff and writing it down for fun and profit since before the end of the Cold War. After writing over twenty roleplaying books for such companies as Palladium Books, Steve Jackson Games and Eden Studios, he turned his hand to fiction in assorted genres, from superhero/alternate history to horror and science fiction.When not writing, C.J. enjoys gaming (computer and tabletop), reading and fighting crime (mostly by yelling at kids to get off the lawn). He does not enjoy long walks by the beach, unless said beach has a partially buried Statue of Liberty.News, sample chapters and other free stuff are available at CJ's website: www.cjcarella.com
