Cube Kid is the pen name of Eric Gunnar Taylor. A fan of video games—and particularly Minecraft—he started writing fanfiction at a very young age. His first novel, The Diary of a Minecraft Villager, was self-published as an ebook in February 2015 and quickly became tremendously successful in the Minecraft community. The novel was acquired by the French publisher Édi8, and was published for the first time in France in February 2016 under the title LE JOURNAL D'UN NOOB, with new illustrations by Saboten. The Diary of an 8-Bit Warrior sparked worldwide interest and has lead to a young readers series as well as an adaptation of a graphic novel series published in 10 different languages. When he is not writing, Cube Kid loves traveling, fixing his car, voraciously reading fanfiction . . . and gaming!
