Irony Sade grew up immersed in nature and surrounded by science, leaving him with an abiding appreciation for both. He traveled widely, earning degrees in Ethics and Biotechnology before turning his attention to medicine. At times he worked as a blacksmith, a traveling musician, and a Peace Corps Volunteer before eventually completing his training as a General Surgeon. He lives with his wife on a small farm in northern California, enjoying all the types of food he can encounter. When he is not writing, he takes care of animals, performs advanced robotic surgery, and sometimes dreams of dragons.
