Rishi Chary grew up in Ellicott City, Maryland where he was raised to be a devout vegetarian... that is, until he discovered that chicken nuggets are, indeed, exquisite. Since then, he's been breaking the rules and following his own path...into fast food restaurants...often after midnight. Along with eating out with his friends, his hobbies include coaching the sport of basketball to young athletes, looking at sneakers he can't afford, and reading comic books. These comics are something he never truly outgrew, and it has been his dream to give the same sensation he felt when reading these stories to others. Children of the Butterflies is his first effort at doing so, and he plans to write more in the future.
