Growing up on a farm, he was subjected to various horrible chores such as cleaning chicken coops, picking cucumbers, and raking gravel. This is probably why he wrote Kendra Kandlestar and the Shard from Greeve, a story that attempts to instruct children in the dangers associated with wicked items such as eggs, pickles, and rocks. When he is not chronicling the land between here and there, Mr. Wiz (as he is so often called) spends his time speaking at schools or helping kids sculpt their own stories through writing workshops. He now lives in Vancouver, Canada, where he takes great care in avoiding items of dark magic.
