Originally from Minnesota, Dennis M. Myers developed a serious reading habit early in life due to the influence of his grandmother. In high school he read one particularly “awful” book and, with all that teenage hubris, decided he could do better.

He joined the US Navy in 1982. An avid roleplayer, he sold his first adventure to Challenge Magazine in 1990. While serving on submarines, he compiled ideas for what became the Automated Empire universe; a timeline spanning 4,000 years.

In 2017, the opportunity came to write full-time for several months. With the full support of his wonderful wife, May, he began the book that is now known as Final Assembly, the first in his series, Rise of the Automated Empire.

His latest novel, Secret of the Ombax, was published in October, 2025. Fifth in the Automated Empire Universe, first of a new series.
