Michael B. Hinton

Michael B. Hinton was born and raised in a small town in rural Louisiana, and spent many of his childhood weekends raiding his father’s sci-fi paperback collection. He worked for a while at a small daily newspaper, where he learned the importance of missing deadlines and of taking lunch away from the office. To avoid finding real work, Michael made his living in politics and government for more than a decade before settling down to write a book. He lives with his wife, daughter, four cats, two ferrets, two chickens, two parakeets, a monk parakeet and a weiro on a suburban zoo compound in South Louisiana.
