About Author

Jared Tinlin was born August 24, 2001, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Jared started writing his own stories and drawing pictures in the first grade. Jared's parents and first grade teacher, Ms. Maes of Zuni Elementary, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, encouraged Jared to write and draw in his journals everyday. Jared took further interest in writing songs and stories and playing musical instruments after viewing a Johnny Cash movie and documentary on Johnny Cash. After this Jared wrote "Hey, Hey, Think Out Loud!". Jared and his mom teamed with cartoonist Simon Goodway to bring Jared's thoughts and writings to life. He is currently writing other books in this series and will be publishing them in the coming months.
