Greg Dent grew up in suburban Los Angeles in the 70s, a far-away time when it was actually possible to be bored. With no internet, mass-media, or 24-hour news cycle, you had to entertain yourself with your own mind to survive.
Unlike his fellow angelinos, Greg soon discovered that he actually liked to walk. And walk he did, walking to school, to the park, to the hills, wherever his feet could take him... and when he walked, his mind wandered too. See, despite living in the promised land, Greg never really felt at home in LA, so he spent his time inventing new worlds and thinking up better, stranger, and more interesting ways for people to live, a tradition that lives on today in his books.
At some point in the mid 90's Greg fled the sun, by way of Nepal, and ended up in Seattle, WA, where he finds the weather agrees with him better, and where he can still walk plenty of places and think up plenty of new worlds. You might find him wandering Seattle's Beacon Hill neighborhood late at night with his dog Sniffy in tow, and sometimes hitting the trails with his lovely wife, Cecilie. In his spare time he programs computers, brews beer, travels, remodels houses, and still plays dungeons and dragons every week the old fashioned way, a habit which formed long before it was cool.
