Philippine-born Mark Paguntalan, under the pen name Oliver Dace, writes stories about the extraordinary
ordinary, such as colour-eating fogs, sentient roads and people hugging shadows. He resides in Wellington, New Zealand, and despite majoring in Psychology and Religious Studies, his addiction
to the taste of words led him to make his own stories. He had written over forty short stories - three were recorded
and posted online - before he focused on his first debut novel, The Wellington Alternate, which caters to his love
of Horror and Magical Realism.
The Live Imaginaries is his second published work.
