As a young Canadian kid growing up, my dreams were of playing in the NHL, soaring across a galaxy far, far away aboard the Millennium Falcon, dueling Darth Vader, and saving the universe. That Star Wars would be the one to ultimately lead me to a career is as unexpected as it is amazing. Yet, it was through these kinds of worlds - where the impossible is not only possible, but expected, where absurd powers or ancient magic spells are never called in to question - that the passion for writing was born. A love of the visual arts led me to the University of Guelph where upon completion of a degree in Art History and Studio Art, I received a Bachelor of Education from the University of Western Ontario. Now, as a seventh grade teacher, I am constantly surrounded by inspiration for my Middle Grade and Young Adult stories. I live in London, Ontario, Canada, with my beautiful wife Elektra, and my three kids, Charlie, Kristina and Helena. I am so very excited to be a part of the Corvisiero Literary team, and to share my stories with all of you. Represented by: Marisa Corvisiero |
