About this author

edit data

I'm the creator of the award-winning "Max Finder Mystery" and "Graphic Guide Adventure" series of graphic novels for kids. I'm also an elementary teacher, which seems a natural fit for a writer like myself.

I have developed educational radio plays for the BBC, written articles for adults and children for numerous national magazines, adapted TV scripts for Kids Can Press, and created original comics for A&C Black Publishers, Owl Magazine, Scholastic Canada, Stone Arch Books and Capstone Press.

I live in Toronto, Ontario with my wife. But you can connect with me here or visit me anytime at http://liamodonnell.com.
