Madison Hinko

Madison Hinko was born in Indianapolis, Indiana in 2005. Her first novel, Called to Dragons Nest, was written during the summer of 2019, before any of us were aware of COVID-19. Getting this novel published is one of the feel-good stories of our time and Madison looks forward to hearing from her readers.

Madison enjoys singing, writing, and acting, although not necessarily in that order. Madison wanted to write a story with complicated characters who develop during the course of the story. She believes the opening to the novel would be incredibly cinematic and often discusses which actors might play Rose and Eric or give voice to Ashbel, the great dragon.

Madison has taped a reading of part of her favorite scene early in the story where most of the major characters first interact. In the scene, the characters discuss good, evil, and the active role nature takes in their lives. Many of the first readers of this story have remarked upon how quickly the last hundred pages of the novel go by.
