About the Author

At age eight, David Lomax was transplanted to Canada from his native Scotland. The same year, his parents read him
Tarzan of the Apes
, and he decided to become a writer. He didn't get all of the cool jobs his other writer friends did to make their biographies sound interesting, such as train driver, elevator repairman, or insurance underwriter. He was, briefly, a waiter. But not a good one. He currently divides his time between four great passions—writing, reading, teaching high-school English, and his wonderful family. He lives in Toronto with his awesome wife and three precocious children.
