J.T.Contardo began writing "The Secret Life Series" to appease his two sons' need for new bedtime reading materials. Instead of reading the same things over and over, his sons created a list of topics they'd like to read about. "The Secret Life of Owls!" is Book 2, of twenty-eight being published throughout 2012 and beyond. J.T. resides in the beautiful state of Maine, where there's never a shortage of new topics to add to his interests and to this open-ended series.
