author:  Steven L. Kent 
description: Born in California but raised in Hawaii, novelist/video game fanatic Steven L. Kent turned a life-long joystick addiction into a 15-year gig writing for publications like MSNBC, <i>Boy&rsquo;s Life, USA Today, Chicago Tribune</i>, and <i>Japan Times</i>. After publishing the 600-page <i>The Ultimate History of Video Games</i>, Kent satisfied his Pac-Man-angst and set his sights on fiction. Having just submitted <i>The Clone Elite</i>, the fourth book in his &ldquo;Wayson Harris Trilogy,&rdquo; Kent is currently writing a standalone sci-fi novel while he develops a new series based on the Unified Authority.
