Michael J. Ganas is a licensed professional engineer. Following a stint in the U.S. Army, he earned a degree in civil engineering from Cornell University. Shortly thereafter, his love of the sea prompted him to pursue a career as a deep-sea commercial diver, heading a wide array of marine construction projects. This eventually led him into his current occupation, which takes on the challenges of civil engineering in underwater environments. Having published over twenty technical articles involving marine engineering, he decided to write his first novel, an epic action adventure titled The Girl Who Rode Dolphins, which eventually merited seven literary awards and has since been subdivided into the first three books of the ongoing Dolphin Riders book series.

Creation is the fourth book in the series.
