One of his early jobs was shelving books at Central Library in Indianapolis. Since then, Mike has always been involved with literature. Mike’s first sale as a writer earned 10 cents for one word: tenacious. Brannon, occasionally paid students for using unusual words.
Mike Mullin first discovered he could make money writing in sixth grade. He is represented by Kate Testerman of kt literary. His debut novel, Ashfall, was named one of the top five young adult novels of 2011 by National Public Radio, a Best Teen Book of 2011 by Kirkus Reviews, and a New Voices selection by the American Booksellers Association. He lives in Indianapolis with his wife and her three cats. Mike holds a black belt in Songahm Taekwondo.
So he’s really glad this writing thing seems to be working out. Oh, and then there was the job where swarms of wasps occasionally tried to chase him off ladders. For a while Mike juggled bottles at a wine shop, sometimes to disastrous effect.
The hazing process at the next company included eating live termites raised by the resident entomologist, so that didn’t last long either. He worked at a place that showed slides of poopy diapers during lunch (it did cut down on the cafeteria budget). He almost got fired by the owner of a bookstore due to his poor taste in earrings. From there, things went steadily downhill. Mike Mullin’s first job was scraping the gum off the undersides of desks at his high school.
