Dave Galanter is a Michigan native who studied Journalism at MSU, and after college he authored the first of several Star Trek projects, among these the Voyager book, Battle Lines, and the Next Generation duology Maximum Warp. He has also written a few e-books, and, most recently, his short story, "Eleven Hours Out" was included in the Tales of the Dominion War anthology.

His not-so-secret Fortress of Solitude is in Owosso, from where he pretends to have a hand in managing the message board websites he co-owns: ComicBoards.com and TVShowBoards.com. He also edits and is the main contributor to his own website, a political blog, SnarkBait.com.

Dave spends his non-day-job time with family and friends, or burying himself in other writing projects, which at some point might actually see the light of day if he ever gets off his duff.
