About

I have been writing stories since my mom helped me write “Erin Visits the A, B, C’s” and “Erin in Number Land” in crayon on construction paper. Throughout elementary school, I wrote books about dinosaurs, King Arthur, and the Romanovs.

I didn’t always love to read on my own, but when I discovered biographies in 3rd grade, I became an avid reader. My fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Oakerlund, introduced me to K.A. (Katherine) Applegate’s Animorphs series, and then I was hooked on fiction. I quickly fell in love with Arthurian legends and Robin Hood – a perfect mesh of fantasy and history. I’ve been a reader and writer ever since.

I love traveling – to see where history happened, to try new things, and explore new places – and often I find my traveling inspires my writing. I also love seeing live theater – I will go see any musical and am a huge fan of Shakespeare’s history plays.

I currently write and teach middle school English/Language Arts in Worthington, MN.

Residing and teaching in Japan, Curtis loves to occasionally doodle, paint, and craft. He enjoys spending time at school with his students or outside of school with his friends and family, indulging in the flavors and range of Japanese cuisine and nature, and venturing to temples, cafes, and mountain tops.

Tyler enjoys making music, woodworking, writing, voice acting, baking, traveling, and being in nature (and then some). He enjoys these most when they are done with, and or for, friends and family.
