Stuart Jaffe is the prolific author behind over sixty novels, including The Max Porter Paranormal Mysteries, The Nathan K Thrillers, The Parallel Society series, The Ridnight Mysteries, The Malja Chronicles, The Bluesman, Founders, Real Magic, and many more. Known for blending old-school pulp adventure with a modern edge, his work spans a wide range of science fiction and fantasy sub-genres.

A former martial artist sidelined by a knee injury, Stuart now channels his energy into playing lead guitar with his local blues band, The Bootleggers. He lives on a small farm in rural North Carolina, where he shares space with a rotating cast of animals—though he proudly notes the chickens are still kept outside.
