Steven L. Kent is the author of The Clone Republic, The Ultimate History of Video Games, and the upcoming children’s book Melanie Medusa Madison.

Born in California and raised in Hawaii, Kent served as a missionary for the LDS Church between the years of 1979 and 1981. During that time, he worked as a Spanish-speaking missionary serving migrant farm workers in southern Idaho.

While Kent earned a Bachelor’s degree in journalism and a master’s degree in communications from Brigham Young University, he claims that his most important education came from life.
