More About the Author

I grew up outside of Philadelphia, a town I portrayed all my thoughts and feelings about in Pure Sunshine and the short story Filthadelphia. When I was eighteen, I moved to New York City where I stayed for ten years. You can read about my impressions of that city in both Tomorrow, Maybe and Thief. For the suburban experiences of my life, check out Perfect World and Dirty Liar.

Needless to say, ten years in Manhattan is more than enough. It was time to pack up and head for the peace and quiet of the middle of nowhere. Alas, I ended up in the Woodstock area of upstate New York. An area aptly portrayed in my book Zombie Blondes.

My fascination with writing started in childhood with the notion of making up stories. I loved action figures as a kid. Actually, I still do and still collect them. But as a child, I would set up my entire bedroom like the stage for one epic story that I would play out for days. I didn't know it at the time, but it was the basis for what I do now. I was also a stuffed animal kid. I had dozens and they all had names and they all personalities. Basically, they were characters. Writing isn't very different than playing. It's just a grown up way of doing it.

This review is from: Supertwins Meet the Dangerous Dino-Robots (Scholastic Reader level 2) (Paperback)

We got this book at a book fair and I read it a few times with my 7 year old son. We laughed a lot, and both enjoyed the well written antics of these twins. After reading it a few times to my son, last night he picked it up and read it to me! The first book he has read all the way through. It was so much funnier when he read it. I know he surprised himself by getting all the way through it. That's why I am at Amazon today. To get the rest of the Supertwin Books. My son says he wants to take it to school and read it to his class. Now that's a good book!
