About this author

edit data

Born in England, Jon Gibbs now lives in New Jersey, where he gives writing presentations and workshops in schools and libraries around the Garden State. His humorous talk, GETTING PUBLISHED: 10 Things every Writer Should Know, was broadcast on local television in 2012.

Jon is the founder of The New Jersey Authors’ Network (www.njauthorsnetwork.com) and FindAWritingGroup.com. His middle grade fantasy, Fur-Face (Echelon Press), was nominated for a Crystal Kite Award. The sequel, Barnum’s Revenge (also from Echelon Press), came out in March, 2013.

My son is less wisdomous than he was

Just got back from the dentist with my son, who now weighs a little less than he did, thanks to the six (yes, six) wisdom teeth he just had removed.

Poor lad. He looked so sad, with his little face staring out from inside the stretchy head bandage they used to hold the icepacks to his cheeks. I just don’t have the heart to post the picture I took.

Definitely my favorite Potter book. I am in constant awe of the way J.K. Rowling managed to include so many unique, interesting characters into these books. My favorite scene never made it into the movie version. It's when Hermione (or 'Her-me-o-ninny...more
