Madaug Hishinuma, intense gamer, former Japanese teacher, and current mastermind of all-around mayhem, first started writing in grade school ... on his mother's walls. Deciding that near-death experiences weren't exactly his thing, he traded his crayons for a computer, and once he broke away from his severe gaming addiction, he realized that his keyboard could also be used to create his own worlds. He's been doing that ever since. He currently lives in Georgia with his wife, son, and dog that doubles as a pony.
