About the author

I'm the author of literally (get it) dozens of books for children.

Born in Killeen, Texas on a cold January day in 1954. My family moved around a lot, allowing me to, over the years, live on a farm, in an historic home and always near rivers or bayous. My playthings were hula-hoops, old typewriters and a wooden leg named Charlie. (Yep, you read that right.) If you want a true glimpse of my childhood dreams, read my novel, Man in the Moon. The character Janine allows you inside my young mixed-up mind.

I’ve lived most of my life in Houston and still live there today. You’ll find me here reading, writing and smiling.

Reviews

[Ro Menendez · Rating 3 out of 5]

The premise in this installment of Ghost Detectors is quite ironic. Malcolm and Dandy, the main characters, are in the business of trapping ghosts, so when Malcolm decides to grow a ghost that will become his servant, naturally, nothing will go as planned! This beginner chapter book will appeal to readers who want to read scary tales but are not quite ready to read through a Goosebumps book without having nightmares.
