Myles Christensen

Before he ever launched readers into deep space or spun tales of undercover agents, Myles Christensen was busy tinkering—sometimes with gadgets, sometimes with ideas. A product development engineer by trade and a storyteller by instinct, he brings a maker’s precision and curiosity to every book he writes, whether it’s a middle-grade sci-fi adventure or a cozy thriller steeped in espionage.

Christensen’s stories defy easy categorization. His science fiction work, like Frozen Secrets, explores far-off moons and looming conspiracies through the eyes of young protagonists, offering a thoughtful balance of wonder and suspense that resonates with younger readers and nostalgic adults alike. Then there's My Buddy Gave Me a Starship, a quirky, character-driven romp that starts with an ordinary guy discovering an abandoned spaceship and unfolds into something far less predictable.

Under the pen name M. Taylor Christensen, he shifts gears into lighter territory with his Spies Never Quit series, blending sweet romance with spy games in stories that are as heartfelt as they are thrilling. Across genres, what ties his work together is a fondness for underdogs, clever plots, and an earnest belief that a little bravery can change everything.

Based in Utah and grounded by family life, Christensen’s storytelling draws from a wide spectrum of experiences—his background in academia, his knack for game invention, and his lifelong love of speculative fiction. Rather than follow trends, he builds new worlds from the ground up, guided more by curiosity than convention.

Whether he’s charting the icy terrain of Europa or unraveling secrets in suburban safe houses, Christensen invites readers into stories that are smart, sincere, and always a bit unexpected.
