Micah Hong is from Hawaii and was raised in the country. At a very early age he was introduced to the Hobbit and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and the rest is history. His hobbies are roleplaying tabletop games, both as a player and Game Master and he often cites the latter as inspiration for his works. As of this writing, he currently lives in Salem, Oregon where he plans Grimtooth-styled death traps for his oft-returning victims.
