John Flanagan grew up in Sydney, Australia, hoping to be a writer. It wasn't until he wrote a highly uncomplimentary poem about a senior executive at the agency where he worked, however, that his talent was revealed. It turned out one of the company directors agreed with John's assessment of the executive, and happily agreed to train John in copywriting.
After writing advertising copy for the next two decades, John teamed with an old friend to develop a television sitcom, Hey Dad!, which went on to air for eight years.
John began writing Ranger's Apprentice for his son, Michael, ten years ago, and is still hard at work on the series.
He currently lives in a suburb of Manly, Australia, with his wife. In addition to their son, they have two grown daughters and four grandsons.

Rating: 3.7/5
An entertaining series built more for the YA crowd than adults. Still, while the hormones seethed, there were fight scenes very well constructed and constant movement.
This author pulls from the Gwynne book of misogyny where all the women are hotter than popcorn farts, full of piss and vinegar but wuvs dem hunky man-childs. MEOW!

I have read the entire 10 books of the series. And while not a young adult, I truly enjoyed this series. In some aspects it reminded me of the Hardy Boys series from the '60s.
