Tony Bertauski is an American author and professor of horticulture at Trident Technical College in South Carolina. He began writing fiction in 2010 with the Socket Greeny series, a young adult science fiction trilogy about a teenager who discovers he has unusual abilities connected to virtual reality technology.

His Foreverland series (2011-2019) explores darker virtual reality themes, while the Claus series (2012-2024) reimagines the Santa Claus story through a science fiction lens. The Drayton books are vampire fiction, and the Halfskin series deals with nanotechnology and what it means to be human when your body is partly artificial. He also published non-fiction about landscape design and graphics before his fiction career took off.
