IT ALL STARTED AS A CHILD, PLAYING WITH HOT WHEELS ON A BEDROOM FLOOR. WITH AGE CAME THE FASCINATION OF BUILDING MODEL CARS, PLANES, WAR SHIPS.... YOU KNOW, THE USUAL STUFF A KID WITH AN IMAGINATIVE MIND WOULD DO. AS GROWING OLDER WOULD HAVE IT, PLAYING WITH LITTLE CARS AND MODELS WOULD NO LONGER SUFFICE. HAVING A PASSION FOR SCIENCE AND THE AUTOMOBILE, LED TO A LUCRATIVE CAREER... BUT SOMETHING STILL LACKED... IMAGINATION!

ARTHUR A. LANOIE WAS BORN IN CHICAGO.  SINCE A CHILD HIS VIVID IMAGINATION PAVED THE WAY FOR MANY STORIES.  HIS MANY STORIES COMPELLED HIM TO BECOME A SCI-FI WRITER. HE NOW LIVES IN CALIFORNIA PURSUING HIS DREAM, WITH A BEAUTIFUL WIFE AND FOUR CHILDREN.
