Nathaniel Hoobler grew up in North Canton, OH as an only child, living with his mom and dad. He spent a lot of time entertaining himself by creating stories in his head that were inspired by his favorite action/anime shows. The idea behind the plot and characters in Negative was among many that were conjured up from his childhood imagination. It wasn’t until later in his twenties that he decided to crack down on fleshing it out into his first novel. 

Aside from creating stories, Nathaniel run the custom shirt business NathApparel, enjoys graphic design, video production, music and drumming, and being outdoors. He became an Eagle Scout at 16, designed the cover of this book, and has produced music videos for bands he has drummed in, playing shows around northeast Ohio.
