Vincent Madison was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, UK in December 1958 and emigrated to Toronto, Canada in 1967, moving to Southern California in 2005. Vincent is married and has two daughters, aged 18 and 20. Vincent grew up in the early 1960's watching the BBC science fiction series 'Doctor Who', and developed an early love for mystery and science fiction. A big fan of Star Trek since the original series in the 1960's, Vincent currently enjoys watching LOST and Fringe, as well as reading anything by Stephen King.

Vincent has been dabbling in film-making since 1973 and has made several short films, including a 2008 short web film based on the beginning of his first novel - FOUND: Buried Treasure.

Vincent has traveled extensively throughout North America and the U.K., and has lived in Montreal, Edmonton, and Toronto. He has a great love for his 'second home' in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, where many of his creative ideas are born.

Vincent has developed and been involved in many interactive 'alternate reality games' (ARG's) based on the ABC show LOST, and is the Director of Oceanic World Airlines.
