P.L. Hight is an American author who enjoys spending time with his wife, family, and friends. At one time, Mr. Hight envisioned himself as an astronaut, but upon learning the limitations of space travel, he left it to the professionals. In return, he imagined strange new worlds rather than discovering them by putting that imagination to paper.

A Chicago native having grown up on the city's far southwest side [as he likes to point out: as far southwest you can go and still be in the city proper], having come up in the magnet public school system and spent many hours embraced by his local library.

A part-time country mouse, he spent many of his youthful summers working on his relative's dairy farms in Wisconsin; learning and experiencing a side of life many never get to see.
