Michael J. Daley was born in Worcester, Massachusetts, and grew up in nearby Millbury, until his family moved first to the Berkshires and then to Vermont, where he now makes his home. His life-long love of science, machines, tinkering, and science fiction have informed his books for both children and adults with a unique spirit.

He writes all of his books in a five by five tower at the top of his house, and uses and attached solar panel for electricity.
