Makana Yamamoto
Makana Yamamoto was born on the island of Maui. Splitting their time between the Mainland and Hawai'i, they grew up on beaches and in snowbanks. Always a scientist at heart, Makana fell in love with sci-fi as a teen. A writer from childhood, fiction became the perfect medium for them to explore their interests as well as reconnect with their culture, coalescing into a passion for diverse sci-fi. They currently live on the East Coast with their wife and two cats. Find their website at makana-yamamoto.com.
