Author Bio

Keith Marantz is a self-proclaimed sci-fi/comedy nerd. Seeing the movies Star Wars and Airplane! in theaters as a child was life-changing for him. And because of that, his writing often gravitates (get it) toward a blend of those two genres. In addition to writing, Keith has a passion for music. He was a music producer and a member of the Recording Academy for over a decade, and he still performs as a DJ at retro events, playing disco and '80s music using only vinyl records. Keith lives in Orange County, California. Larissa Brown is a Disney fine artist whose works are displayed in the galleries of Disneyland Resorts.
