Jacob Dunn (1984 - ) was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee and raised in Barnesville, GA by a librarian and a Spanish teacher. Jacob started reading voraciously as a young boy, primarily as a side effect of a plot by his older brothers. Instead of giving him a turn on the family nintendo, Jacob's older brothers insisted their mother impose a read-a-book-before-you-play policy. Jacob has been writing books since he was eight-years-old. Recently, his Shadowhero series has started to climb the Amazon author ranks since being released in June of 2013.
