R.E. (Bob) Munzing spent his childhood in Michigan, roaming the woods and building tree houses. His teen years were spent reading hundreds of science fiction books, frequently in those same tree houses. After a successful thirty-five-year engineeriong career that included designing machines to build cars, trucks, tanks, jet turbines, robots, and an atom-smashing particle accelerator, Bob finally returned to his first love---books. He actively began writing and drew his inspiration from the books he read as a kid. Thus, The Last Elfarian was born, His epic story has now turned into a series and will eventually span four books, the first of which is "Beyond the Firefly Field."
