M. B. Mooney was in the 2nd grade when his teacher, Mrs. Green, tried to keep him out of trouble by saying, "Why don't you write me a story?" He thought that was the best idea ever, and it's kept him out of trouble ever since. Mooney writes fiction and non-fiction and loves a good brew while he works, whether it's specialty coffee or craft beer, which is the basis for his writing podcast, Brew & Ink. He is the author of Beer Fest (Indiana University Press). He lives with his amazing wife, three creative kids, and a dog in Suwanee, Georgia.
