about the author

 I started writing and designing children's books in 2022, after my wife got tired of hearing my same corny jokes over and over, and suggested I put my jokes into a book!

   The first book I wrote is titled EleFUNNIES and UniCORNIES, which is a book containing 26

different animal riddles, covering animals that start with the letter A through the letter Z. After the success of that first book, I wrote a sequel riddle book titled GiraffeLAUGHS and WoodCHUCKLES, and then seven more books intended for a wide range of children, from

ages 1 to about 15.


   The last book I wrote (published in November 2024) is titled GROWING UP to be the best you can be, which is a book for parents to read together with their children, with the goal of helping their children grow up to be responsible and caring teenagers and adults. This newest book has already received great acclaim from both parents and teachers who have seen and read it.

 
   My wife Linda has provided many helpful suggestions for writing, designing, and improving all of my books. She has been teaching elementary school children for over 30 years.


   The main proofreader for all of my books is Diane Bolman, whose corrections and suggestions for improving the text have been invaluable.


   The illustrator for most of my books is Asim Shafiq, a talented children's book illustrator who lives in Pakistan. I found him online, and we have developed a great (online) friendship over the past several years.

​

   All of my books are hardcover, with a finish that provides maximum durability. Interior pages are printed on relatively thick high-quality paper. Each book is about 9 inches wide by 9 inches tall, making them easy for young hands to hold and read. The text in all of my books is accompanied by very colorful and attractive illustrations.
