Mike Chen is a critically acclaimed science fiction author based out of the San Francisco Bay Area.  During the interview, Tess & Karen loved hearing about his creative process and how he manages to write while working a day job and home schooling his daughter.  Listen in to find out which of his novels is the book of his heart, how he uses the three-act structure to outline his novels, and what it was like to write a Star Wars novel.
Enjoy!
