Informazioni sull?autore

Jane Jensen has been both a computer programmer and a computer game designer, winning accolades for her interactive mystery series "Gabriel Knight." Technology is a second love; her first is humanities. She has had an interest in comparative religion and philosophy for many years, perhaps in an effort to balance (or fathom) her upbringing as a fundamentalist minister's daughter. She wrote Millennium Rising because in 1994 she bought a book on prophecies and it scared her for weeks. She did not build a bunker in her backyard, preferring to subscribe to "Skeptical Inquirer" instead, and she and her husband remain resolute residents of downtown Seattle.
