Stephen T. Person was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and now lives in Washington, DC. While serving in the US Navy aboard the USS Trippe, he circumnavigated the globe, and later worked as a magazine editor and corporate communications manager, with assignments that took him to England, Saudi Arabia, and Brazil. Now he's sharing his experiences and love of archaeology, astronomy, and music with young readers. His first novel, Five Hieroglyphs, had him return to the sea in this compelling tale of discovery, intrigue, and the power of ancestral connections.
