Growing up, Mike Roop's parents encouraged and fostered creativity; he took to drawing and painting, singing and acting, reading and writing. His imagination drew him into not only writing and creating characters in print by prose and visually by illustration, but expanded when he discovered Role-Playing Games. RPGs, a widely misunderstood hobby, managed to combine numerous elements of creativity and boundless imagination. Mike met author Frank Creed on Shoutlife, a Christian social networking site and Creed invited him to design an RPG based on Flashpoint: Book One of the Underground. The result, Join the Underground, is Mike's first published project. He would like to complete a series of children's adventure books that he has been developing for his kids and grandkids.  

Mike and his wife Diane live in southern Missouri. They have been blessed with wonderful children and grandchildren and the family are active members of their local church.
