T. Ellery Hodges was born in Sacramento, Ca in 1981. He moved to Seattle at nineteen and received his Bachelors of Science in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology from the University Of Washington. In late high school and early college he started taking an interest in writing. During his twenties he worked in a laboratory performing drug trials, traveled most of Washington State fixing computers for Apple, sold gym memberships, and helped manage an international supply chain for a chemical distributor. Much like the rest of his generation, he found that he wasn't well suited to doing any type of work for long. So, he brushed the metaphorical dust off the novel he'd been writing in his head for the last six years. Then, he looked up the definition of 'metaphorical' because he was pretty sure that people who called themselves writers knew that one. He found that there was at least one thing he could endure doing for forty hours a week for the rest of his life. There might be a lesson in all that about ignoring what you want to do for what you think you should. Luckily, this is a biography not a lecture. Currently, he lives with his wife and two sons and daughter in Seattle. He has two dogs, a Border Collie and a Doberman, Darwin and Dharma, respectively. T. Ellery Hodges’ The Never series has received critical acclaim in the Reader’s Favorite Book Awards: The Never Hero (2015) received an Honorable Mention in the category of Science Fiction.
