About the Authors

Mike Kalmbach grew up in a forest near Lake Michigan. Spending his summers chasing wizards and fighting battles with evil ogres, Mike has always had a creative mind. He'll often share stories from his past, and some of them are even true.

After time dragged him from childhood, Mike moved into freelance editing, helping other authors improve dozens of stories. During the daylight hours, he writes software to help with genetics research. He leads the Rochester MN Writing group and often speaks on topics from writing and editing to engineering and robotics.

Luckily, Mike now has two sons, so he has plenty of excuses to set down the pen and play. He lives in Minnesota where he, his family, and a band of pirates can still be found battling ogres, dust bunnies, and even the occasional dragon.

Alexander Kalmbach was just two years old when he helped write his first book, A Shark at the Park. He has inherited his dad’s creativity and sense of humor (sorry world!). He spends his days fighting fires, busting ghosts, and chasing sharks away from the park.

Nathaniel Kalmbach enjoys playing with trucks, buses, and anything with wheels. He has inherited his dad’s creativity and sense of humor (sorry again, world!). He loves chasing monsters, putting together train tracks, and reading books.

Lily Kalmbach recently learned to walk, but she loves pushing buttons and seeing her parents react. Her parents suspect this will continue for a long time. She also sleeps through the night most nights, for which her parents are extremely grateful.
