His works include the award-winning documentary "Shotgun Wave" and last year's sleeper hit, the crime thriller "nerve ending." A native of Seattle, Washington (in the FSA), Pierce grew up among the children of neonomadic software barons and indentured agricorp fishermen. He has at various times worked as an electrocab driver, a marketing consultant, an Orgotek systems analyst, and even a brief stint as an infosifter and archivist for the Aeon Trinity. He currently lives in a comfortable apartment in Tidalay with his collection of old cameras, a surfboard, and his favorite mutt, Rufus.
