About the Author
I'm the author of "Word Nerd," "Dear George Clooney: Please Marry My Mom," "The Reluctant Journal of Henry K. Larsen," "We Are All Made of Molecules" and the newly released "Optimists Die First." I got my start writing for the original "Degrassi Junior High." I've done a lot of writing for TV over the years. A part of my brain stopped growing when I was about 13 (this isn't a medical fact, just a gut feeling) . I suspect it's why I love writing middle grade and YA fiction! I live in Vancouver, Canada, with my family and two very destructive cats: Emily Bronte and Erwin Schrodinger. I also love to road bike. Yes, that's right: I proudly wear a lot of spandex cycling gear.
