Dan Gutman was born in a log cabin in Illinois and used to write by candlelight with a piece of chalk on a shovel. Oh, wait a minute. That was Abraham Lincoln.

Actually, Dan is a children's book author who has written more than 160 books for beginning readers (“Rappy the Raptor”) to young readers (“My Weird School” to more advanced readers ("The Genius Files" and "Flashback Four”).

Dan lives in New York City with his wife Nina.
