The Stars Within (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781962594172)

Stefan Petrucha is a prolific author whose literary achievements have captivated readers worldwide, with his works selling over a million copies. With a repertoire of over twenty novels, including original works such as Ripper and Dead Mann Walking, Petrucha has proven himself as a storytelling virtuoso. Additionally, he has crafted hundreds of compelling graphic novels, spanning iconic franchises such as The X-Files, Beowulf, Mickey Mouse, and Nancy Drew. He has also delved into the realm of licensed prose novels, penning gripping tales like Spider-Man: Forever Young and Deadpool: Paws for Marvel. His upcoming original science fiction epic, The Stars Within, promises an enthralling read. Born in the Bronx, Petrucha spent his formative years moving between the big city and the suburbs, both of which made him prefer escapism. A fan of comic books, science fiction and horror since learning to read, in high school and college he added a love for all sorts of literary work, eventually learning that the very best fiction always brings you back to reality, so, really, there's no way out. An obsessive compulsion to create his own stories began at age ten and has since taken many forms, including novels, comics and video productions. At times, the need to pay the bills made him a tech writer, an educational writer, a public relations writer and an editor for trade journals, but fiction, in all its forms, has always been his passion. Every year he's made a living at that, he counts a lucky one. Fortunately, there've been many.
