J. N. Chaney is a USA Today bestselling American author of military science fiction and space opera, holding a Master's of Fine Arts in creative writing. He has built one of self-publishing's largest science fiction catalogs by extensively co-authoring series with other genre writers, including Jason Anspach (King's League, Wayward Galaxy), Scott Moon, Richard Fox, and Craig Martelle. His original work centers on the Renegade Star series and its spin-offs, along with the Backyard Starship and The Last Hunter series, populating a shared universe of mercenaries, smugglers, and interstellar conflict across dozens of interlinked story arcs. Based for periods in Las Vegas, Chaney maintains close contact with readers through the Renegade Readers community and a regular mailing list, reflecting the fast-release, highly collaborative model common among top independent science fiction authors.
