Author Information

Marcha Fox earned a bachelor's degree in physics from Utah State University in 1987, which facilitated a 20+ year career at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. Forever fascinated by the heavens, when her attempt to debunk astrology backfired, she pursued knowledge in that field as well. She graduated from the International Academy of Astrology's professional development program in 2012 and created ValkyrieAstrology.com. Much of the popular website's informational content can be found in ""Whobeda's Guide to Basic Astrology."" Her previous fiction work includes five novels in the hard science fiction genre. Her epic Star Trails Tetralogy series has been highly acclaimed for its family-oriented plot as well as its palatable and accurate science content. Directed primarily to teens and young adults with an interest in science or engineering, more information can be found on StarTrailsSaga.com.Born in Peekskill, New York, she has lived in California, Utah, and Texas in the course of raising her family that comprises six grown children and several grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She pampers her indoor and outdoor cats while trying to keep up with her astrology clients, home, yard, garden, friends, family, and of course, writing. She currently makes her home in the Finger Lakes Region of New York State. Pete Risingsun is an enrolled member of the Northern Cheyenne Tribe well-versed in their ceremonies and traditions. He has served as a spirit helper to medicine men in ceremonial sweat lodges where traditional procedures are meticulously followed. Born the eighth child of ten in 1950, he was raised on a small ranch east of Busby, Montana on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation in the southeast corner of the state. Pete wears his grandfather's Cheyenne name, Mo'ȯhtáveaénohe (Black Hawk), who was a member of the Council of Forty-Four Chiefs.In addition, he's a proud fifth generation descendant of Iron Shirt, a ceremonial medicine man warrior who fought beside Chief Littlewolf. The story is told that his buckskin Cheyenne war shirt had powerful medicine that made him fearless. The buckskin would turn to iron during battle and the soldiers' bullets would fall to the ground.After graduating high school in 1968, he attended Montana State University for four years. When offered a position with Exxon as an employee relations director overseas, he turned it down, instead completing a three-year apprenticeship in plant operations in Billings, Montana. He worked in that capacity for one additional year until he accepted a job as adult education director for the Northern Cheyenne Tribe back home in Lame Deer, grateful to see the refinery fade away in the rear-view mirror. Back on the reservation, Pete raised black angus cattle and bred championship Quarter horses. He served as a Tribal Council member for six years and was the first Northern Cheyenne elected as a Rosebud County Commissioner, a position he held from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2012.He's the proud father of one daughter, Echo Raine, who blessed him with two grandchildren, Sierra Star and Skyler Seven. Pete is currently retired, but has stayed busy co-writing The Curse of Dead Horse Canyon trilogy the past few years as well as compiling an accurate history of his tribe from the Northern Cheyenne point of view.
