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][3][4][5] McCune has received degrees in English from Wheaton College, Illinois (BA, 2006),[6] the University of Virginia (MA, 2011), and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (PhD, 2016).[7] He teaches British literature and composition at Baylor University.[8]
