Gerald and Angela Blackwell are the minds behind Tales of the Star Union.
Gerald has been a gamer and writer for most of his life, with the earliest ideas for Tales of the Star Union first germinating in the mid-1980s.
He has worked in retail and in debt collection, and was an employee with the US Food and Drug Administration before finally deciding to pursue the writer's life.
Angela has also been a gamer for many years, and was a biomedical engineer with the FDA before going on to be a regulatory consultant.
She is the science adviser and fills in the plot holes that Gerald occasionally leaves behind.
It was after they got together in 1989 that the Star Union began to coalesce into a coherent science fiction setting.
They live in a sleepy little North Carolina town where Gerald can see the sky with his telescope, and they share their home with five rabbits named after
Lord of the Rings characters and two turtles not so named.
