About the Author
Pizza? Derek Borne here, and I'm a Canadian author of Sci-Fi novels. When I'm not writing, I spend time with my lovely wife and our super fluffy kitty Libby. Other times, I'm eating pizza, belting out Broadway showtunes, playing guitar, eating pizza, watching anything to do with Marvel superheroes, and making movie references daily. Oh, and eating pizza.
And for added emphasis...pizza. When it comes to stories (books or movies), like most teenagers and young adults, I love anything sci-fi and action/ adventure. Being a storyteller at a very young age, a love of writing inevitably came to the fore. In grade 8 (2002), I wrote and completed my first novel, "The Ultimate Agent." Favorite Authors: Michael Crichton - Jurassic Park; Prey; State of Fear Jeffrey Archer - Paths of Glory Other Hobbies: Guitar, singing, hockey, movie watching and referencing (I'm pretty good at that, I scare myself sometimes), and being a nerd. |

Still a student at the time, I didn’t have the money to sign with bigger companies. It got to the point where I never thought it was going to happen. So my novels stayed on my computer for a few years. Then self-publishing became big. Finding a great and easy online company, I was finally able to put my novels on paper!
