About Mike Kraus
Mike Kraus arrived on the fiction scene in 2012 with the surprise smash hit Final Dawn, an episodic post-apocalyptic series that sold over 250,000 copies. After a year of success he "retired" from writing for a few years to pursue other work (programming, web design and marketing) before returning to his true passion: writing.
With a follow-up trilogy to Final Dawn and two-more post-apoc series under his belt, he started Muonic Press (www.muonic.com) which has been the #1 small/indie post-apoc publisher for 3 years running according to book analytics firm K-Lytics.

I looked at the top cover designers and while I love their covers, I wanted to do something completely unique. So, after coming up with a 1200 word off-the-cuff description of the main ship/characters, I went to the amazing Allen Grippin, a 3D modeler who helpe5 years ago Read more -
