About this author

Greg van Eekhout writes books for kids and adults. He enjoys eating little tacos, walking along the beach, and practicing kung fu. About the kung fu: He's let himself get a bit slovenly, quite frankly, so please do not challenge him to a fight. He cries easily. He's a weeper. He lives in San Diego.


If you’re convenient to Phoenix and you’re into comics and animation and science fiction and fantasy and that sort of thing, I strongly suggest you come to Phoenix Comicon this weekend. I’ll be hanging around Friday through part of Sunday and appearing on a couple of panels.



Researching Odd Locations and Places : Friday 1:30pm – 2:30pm
Writing Books for Pre-Teens : Saturday 12:00pm – 1:00p
