Hello from The Dino Detective. As you probably have guessed, "The Dino Detective" is what we writers call a "pen name". I chose "The Dino Detective" rather than my own name for several reasons. The main reason is because I love to research and write about dinosaurs and it makes me feel like a detective as I hunt for information and clues for my next dinosaur book. When not working on dinosaur books for kids, I am a school teacher, living in a small town in Canada, with over 30 years teaching experience. Most of my teaching years were spent teaching elementary school children which probably explains why I enjoy writing and publishing dinosaur books for kids, rather than for adults. As a… child, and even into my adult years, the topic of dinosaurs has always fascinated me. I loved movies like "Jurassic Park" and any other movies that featured dinosaurs! My hope is that I can pass along some of that "dino" wonder and fascination through my dinosaur books for kids.I sincerely want to thank you if you do decide to purchase any of my dinosaur books for kids, and hope you have as much fun reading it yourself or along with your children if you are a parent reading this, as I did creating these books.May the "Dinosaur Force" be with you!Sincerely,THE DINO DETECTIVE
