G. R. Fillinger is a young-adult fantasy author with a propensity for action, pop culture, romance, and jokes--very cheesy jokes. He likes to explore themes of identity, freewill, and true love. Most of all, he loves to create and discover those hidden worlds that only a chosen few know about. He cultivates his skills as a writer by eavesdropping and collecting phrases aged to perfection. If you're mid-conversation and he turns away to write something, chances are it'll end up in a book. If you see his eyes glaze over, it's because he's forgotten his notebook, lost his pen, and is presently repeating the phrase over and over so he doesn't forget it. It's nothing personal. You're probably just hilarious. Either that, or he's trying to curse you. Take it as you will.G. R. Fillinger has a BA in English Literature and an MA in Education. Currently, he teaches Creative Writing at a high school in California. Like writing, teaching is a passion, and he wouldn't give it up. Not only do his kids come up with the most off-the-wall ideas and sayings, but they also seem to learn something occasionally. Being a part of that is quite a rush. Fillinger also loves to travel, especially if it involves camping and hiking. It's a chance to quiet his mind and learn to look at the world in a different way. That, and he gets to spend copious amounts of uninterrupted time with his family.When he's not writing, he spends time with his wife and newborn son. Right now, he's really diggin' the whole new-dad thing. Bedtime songs are the best.
