Eben Mishkin studied at the University of California’s College of Creative Studies and the University of Wales at Cardiff. He earned his Masters in the teaching and practice of Creative Writing but has studied subjects as diverse as the conjugation of sigils and the propitiation of Sumerian Demons.

He’s been the youngest attendee of the Santa Barbara Writer’s Conference and the oldest person to believe in S. Morgenstern. He’s studied writing under Orson Scott Card and occult under everyone’s favorite grandmother. He knows the keys and locks of three gods that must not be named but has never had tequila.

He’s married to a dragon keeper who is also a very talented artist. They live together in a McMansion in Southern California with a sweet natured hell hound and more dragons than he is comfortable cohabiting with.

The Hidden and the Maiden is Mishkin’s debut novel.
