Michael Stackpole (+3)
"Michael A. Stackpole is an award-winning game and computer game designer who was born in 1957 and hates writing these &#39;About the Author&#39; pieces because they force him to refer to himself in the third person. Being neither a Gand nor a Presidential candidate, he finds this awkward. Perhaps if he had not grown up in a normal family, enjoying an utterly normal life, this third person thing wouldn't bother him, but then he also thinks it's better to be known for what he's written and done than for any vaguely interesting bits of nonsense about his past."
