The Author of the book I'm reading, "The Maze Runner" is James Dashner. James Dashner was born in Austel, Georgia on November 26, 1972, and has five brothers and sisters. He attended BYU in Utah, where he received a Masters Degree in Accounting. He worked in finance for a while but then decided to try his hand at writing. He started out writing fantasy and science fiction. He lives in the Rocky Mountains with his wife and four children. He has won many awards for his work including. New York State Charlotte Award, Kentucky Bluegrass Award, Oregon Reader’s Choice Award, New Hampshire Isinglass Teen Read Award, Missouri Truman Reader's Award, Illinois Abraham Lincoln Award, Tennessee Volunteer State Book Award, Arizona Grand Canyon Reader Award, Georgia Peach Book Award, and the New Jersey Garden State Book Award.
