Jos Crane writes stories that focus on alternative realities and dystopian settings. A software engineer during the day, and novelist at night, he splits his time between family, composing music, and complaining how video games have gotten too difficult and too long over the decades. He has spent most of his life in Colorado splitting a fine balance acting as a computer geek and an outdoorsman.  Jos continually earns certifications for advancing his education, though he has no plans to use them for anything useful.
