Philip-Jon Haarsma (born June 5, 1964), more commonly known as PJ Haarsma, is a Canadian born producer and science fiction author best known for his creation of the Rings of Orbis universe, which encompasses The Softwire series of books.
Haarsma created a free, online role-playing game, also called the Rings of Orbis, set in the same universe.
Both the book-series and the game target young, often reluctant readers in an attempt to encourage them by rewarding them for reading.Haarsma developed a school presentation program in which he discusses The Softwire books, astronomy, and other science fiction and science fact topics.
He is also one of the co-founders of Kids Need to Read, a United States Internal Revenue Code 501(c)(3) tax exempt public charity that purchases books to donate to underfunded schools and libraries.
