Travis J I Corcoran

Forged in darkest Massachusetts, Travis ("TJIC" to friends and enemies alike), escaped from the People's Republik and managed to bribe his way across the border. He now resides with his wife and dogs on a 56 acre farm in New Hampshire where he writes code, forges knives, raises / slaughters / butchers goats and pigs, and tinkers with his 50 year old Bridgeport milling machine. His debut novel, The Powers of the Earth, won the Prometheus Award for Best Novel in 2018 - the first self-published novel to ever do so. His second novel, Causes of Separation, won the Prometheus Award for Best Novel in 2019 - the first time an author has won two years running, and the first time both a book and its sequel won.
