More About the Author

R.A. Montgomery is an avid adventurer, first and foremost. Whether in the mountains, or on the sea, or in explorations of the mind, he has found adventure in every aspect of his life. Teaching school, working in the administration of a top university, hiking in the Himalayas, or working in the Peace Corps in Africa, Montgomery has taken making choices seriously. Montgomery says, "There is never a day in which you are not confronted with choice. Some seemingly small choices can determine the path of the rest of your life. CYOA gave me a vehicle for examining all the impacts of choice."

He was born in Greenwich, Connecticut in 1936. One of his first memories is sitting in his high chair and being frightened of Jell-O, which he thought was alive. He attended Hopkins Grammar School, the oldest private school in the country (founded in 1660), and Williston Academy. He got his college degree from Williams in 1958, and did graduate school at Yale and NYU.

Choose Your Own Adventure® books reflect his diverse interests and values. Montgomery states, "More than anything else, everyone should have the freedom to express themselves. Second to that, everyone should take risks and be willing to fail. Picking yourself up off the mat is the central business of life."

Today R.A. Montgomery lives in north central Vermont, where he is CEO of the small publishing house that has re-introduced the CYOA series. He travels frequently to Asia and Europe. Although his technical climbing days are kaput.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Race Forever (Choose Your Own Adventure #7) (Paperback)

I Think The book is cool.The first adventure is if you wan't to start the speed race first or if you wan't to start the easy one first.I cosed the easy one first cause to let my car warm up for the speed race, like it was real.It told you to go to P.70.Then it told you if you wan't the ''Nissa'' or a truke.I cosed The ''Nissa''.And after that I won two races comeing in first place.It's awsume.I hope you read it so you can enjoy the book.When I cosed the ''Nissa'' it said ''It's a beuty.''Red paint ,hevy grills above the head lights,it's a great car'',Befor you race it tells you to wach out for animals and raffuges.
