Jeremy David Schone was raised in Columbia, Maryland as the oldest of six children.

He started writing at a very young age and finished his first draft of Mark of Silver between ninth and tenth grade. The story, characters and wording have evolved many times since then and now, over a decade later, are ready to be shared with the world. He moved to Utah when he went to Brigham Young University, where he studied Linguistics. He served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Singapore and Malaysia.

When he was 19, he got into a serious accident that tore his aorta and caused many other severe injuries. While he still experiences painful backlash from these experiences, they have only solidified his beliefs and increased his empathy as a writer.

He met his true love, Shirley, while they were at BYU. They were married in 2015 and now live together with their two children, Natalie (6) and Joshua (3) in Saratoga Springs, Utah.
