JD Pagano doesn't like talking about himself; that's why he prefers the company of his cats, who rarely ask him personal questions. When he's not writing, he can be found devouring fantasy books, drinking felonious amounts of coffee, and hunting for the best chocolate chip cookie in town.

His stories tend to be low-stakes, slice-of-life, cozy fantasy.

He lives in Austin, Texas with his wife, two dogs, and two cats.
