Chris Cochrane is the author of this book and the possessor of an incredibly powerful imagination, which will, one day, manage to break free from Chris’s brain and go on adventures all by itself… Fond of nature, sports, fantasy, and sci-fi movies and TV shows, Chris draws his writing inspiration from the world around him, but most especially from his family: his wife Stephanie and their four children. A salesman with a BS in Marketing, Chris writes to entertain and amuse and loves inventing weird and wacky words, phrases, and creatures with which to delight his children. At his wife’s suggestion, he began to write his stories down so that other children could enjoy them, too.
