Author Biography

When Roland Smith was five years old, his parents got him a typewriter. He would spend hours typing on it every day to hear the clacking sound it makes, but of course since he was only five, he did not know how to spell. Not much has changed since then. Smith went to Portland State University in hope to become a writer. One day, he looked through lists of jobs and started working at a local zoo. This was originally supposed to be a short one year job, but turned into a 20 year career. He eventually quit to meet his dream of becoming a writer. A few dozen books later, Smith writes today.
