Not so serious Bio:Ian Lendler is, first and foremost, a person. After that, the details get a bit sketchy. We're pretty sure he has two arms and two legs. There are rumors of a third thumb, which you may laugh about now but let's see what you think 1,000 years from now when evolution decides that three thumbs is way better because you can use can-openers more efficiently and hitchhike with aplomb and everyone will laugh about the old days when everyone was a "two-thumber." But I digress. I am a writer. My books are below. I sincerely hope you enjoy them. Kirkus has called my writing "ridiculously entertaining." My children have called me "embarrassing." Feel free to drop me a line and tell me your thoughts. I live near San Francisco, CA. Thank you for visiting.
