About the author

Mario Lurig was born on the island of Reunion off the coast of Madagascar, and has spent his earliest years in other exotic regions such as Kenya and the U.A.E. Currently residing in Boulder, Colorado, USA, his writing career has always been inspired by his interests at the time. His first book was a reference guide for PHP, a web programming language, while his next book abused his extrovert personality. When faced with strangers, Mario always finds his way into rewarding conversation.
An avid cyclist and tennis player, Mario is also 1-0 in knife fights, due to a silly incident in his late teens. He currently runs a website for authors called NovelRank.com as one of his numerous side projects.
