M.J. Goodner (also known as Micah J. Goodner) was born in 1976,
in Indianapolis, Indiana. At the tender age of 8 he wrote his first book for his 2nd grade Montessori
school project, a story entitled Heathcliff and the Spaceship (as it turns out, this was also his first science fiction
story... ha!). Throughout grade school M. J. was proficient in all areas of English. As result of the annual
Indiana State standardized testing, he repeatedly placed in the 97th percentile and above in reading comprehension.
In the sixth grade, he was one of the few students in the entire school that read on an eighth grade
level.
In Junior High, M. J. was enrolled in a School for Performing
Arts, where he was accepting into the Telecommunications Magnet program. It was here that he studied journalism and
broadcasting principles. In High School he continued this form of education, attending another Center for Performing
Arts school. There he was enrolled in the fledgling Integrated Arts Magnet, a state funded program in which the
areas of Language, Visual, and Musical Arts were an integrated curriculum.
As an adult M. J. Goodner, has gained
most of his writing experience from creating short sermons associated with his ministry school training and technical writing
for former corporate employers. Using the aforementioned experiences and his affinity
for language arts, he has ventured into the creative writing field. Thus far he has completed the sci-fi/thriller
novel, Nargasaan Prophecy (published through Lulu Press, Inc.), a weekly series of sports articles on GetSportsInfo.com, two
screenplays to date, as well as several other short writing projects.
A devoted husband and father of one, he spends most of
his free time watching sports, studying the bible, and polishing his writing craft.
