Michael Tussey was born in San Diego and has lived nowhere else. He pretends to be a graphic designer, but is a librarian at heart. Michael appreciates fine ale, fine food and fine art. He enjoys longboarding and jazz, but draws inspiration from neither. He has attended the San Diego Comic Con annually for seventeen years. As a boy, Michael told his neighborhood pals he would rather play video games than involve himself with girls. He wishes he could remain a kid forever.
