J.L. is the award-winning writer of the spooky middle grade series The Berge Sisters. When he was a kid, he used to spend recess in the woods surrounding his rural elementary school and read until the bell rang. It’s his dream to create stories that inspire kids the same way he was so long ago. 

J.L. graduated in 2007 from Castleton University with a BA in Children’s Literature. In 2011, he received his MFA from the Center For Cartoon Studies. He currently lives in Vermont with his wife, and three cats.
