Roger Jones has always been fascinated by the way creatures move through the air, from insects to supersonic aircraft. He has spent his career studying, teaching, and writing about the history of science, particularly aerodynamics. In addition to academic writing, he has published short stories, non-fiction pieces in flying magazines, and a novella-a coming-of-age story about a vegetarian buzzard. He has drafted a monograph on Daniel Bernoulli, the founder of hydrodynamics, a textbook on its history, two flying-involved novels in addition to this one, and a memoir. He lives with his wife, flies powered planes and gliders, and writes in Berea, Kentucky.
