is the author of more than fifty books for young people, many of them award winners. He and his wife, Gwen, live in Lawton, Oklahoma. They have two sons, Charles and James, a daughter-in-law, Tambye, and a family dog, a Labrador retriever named Daisy.
“I thought about my own wedding while I was writing this book,” says G. E. Stanley. “I was so nervous before the ceremony that I couldn’t eat anything, but during the ceremony, I got so hungry I thought I was going to starve to death. If there had been cookie flowers around, like the ones Katie Lynn and Tina made in

, I would have probably grabbed a few and munched on them.”
