Mattias von Schantz is an author and the creator of the Lords of the Stars universe, a world he has been building and writing stories in for over 30 years. He is a computer scientist with an academic background in artificial intelligence and cognitive psychology. By day, he works as a software engineer, writing computer programs for a living.
Also, he's Swedish, but writes in English to share his stories with a wider audience, since not enough people in the world read his native language.
