Jacob Holo
Literary Guest of Honor V2.0Jacob Holo has been a recreational geek since childhood, when he discovered Star Wars
and Star Trek, and a professional geek since college, when he graduated from Youngstown State University with a degree in Electrical and Controls Engineering. He started writing when his parents bought that “new” IBM 286 desktop, and over the years, those powers combined to push him to the next level of nerddom: a sci-fi author who designs intricate worlds and tech systems…and promptly blows them up in a string of nonstop action.
He is the author of fourteen books, including the bestselling Gordian Division series (with David Weber), YA urban fantasy Time Reavers (a Kirkus Reviews Best Indie Book), YA steampunk fantasy The Wizard’s Way (with H.P. Holo), and fantasy adventure Monster Punk Horizon: Excess (with H.P. Holo).
Between novels, Jacob enjoys gaming of all sorts, whether video gaming, card gaming, miniature wargaming, or watching speed runs on YouTube. He is a former-Ohioan, former-Michigander who now lives in South Carolina with his wife/boss H.P., the ghost of his cat/boss Nova, and his new kitten/boss Dazzle, who is a very good boy even if he does try to lick light bulbs.
