About the Author Ted Lemon grew up in the 1970s when being a child came with quite a bit more freedom, freedom to have adventures without as much adult supervision and freedom to get in plenty of trouble. So, when the author decided to fulfill his lifelong dream of becoming a writer, the subject was an easy one: his own childhood. Ted finished in 2015 and based the story "loosely" on the adventures he had growing up. Now he's a grown-up living in Oxford, Michigan with his wife and three children.
