Born in the Chicago suburb of Downers Grove, Maag began writing seriously when his seventh grade English teacher challenged him to write something worth an "A." Maag accepted, received the "A" and has been working diligently ever since at short stories and poetry. Many of his friends introduced him to laser tag, which became the basis for his latest novel, Nightfyre. He is a graduate of Illinois State University and currently works as a computer analyst. This is his first book with a collection of poetry and a second novel, "a young adult techno thriller" on the way.
