Jeremy Liles was born and reared in the Midwest, but now inflicts his writing upon the world from an undisclosed location in New York City. By day, he is an attorney; by night, he attacks the English language with ferocity. He has been known to enjoy pick-up basketball, downhill skiing, running, and Frappucinos. His preferred alias is "Mr. Tickle."

His first novel, "The Shallow End," was published in print and Kindle in 2015, to little or no acclaim. Despite this, he is hard at work on his second novel, a satirical treatment of modern finance that has been compared (by him) to "Catch-22."
