Simons started as a technical writer during an internship before he received a Computer Engineering degree, which quickly led to writing science fiction novels after work. His first few titles were focused on TTRPG campaigns but have since branched out in the last few years to stories that better fit the novel's format. His wife is his first and best fan, and when he isn’t writing, they spend their days like their great-grandmothers: canning, homesteading, and making everything around the house by hand from scratch. “The writing will be good. I will be a hot mess.”
