Biography

McCune was born on July 18, 1985, in Virginia Beach, Virginia, to Keith and Grace McCune, and was raised in the Philippines and Russia.[1]

In the year 2000, when McCune was fourteen, his father showed him a three-page short story based on the legend of the Pied Piper of Hamelin, and asked McCune to help him develop it. That short story became the 250-page novel, The Rats of Hamelin, which was published by Moody Publishers just before McCune's senior year at Wheaton College.[2]

McCune graduated from Wheaton College in 2006 with a B.A. in English Writing.[3] In 2011 he completed an M.A. in English at the University of Virginia.[4] He is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in English from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.[5]
