L. P. Donnelli is a children's author. He loves his father and late mother, his super partner, his lovely Chinese/German/Mexican dog, two geckos (one extremely squeaky) and his Russian wandering tortoise.  He leads a boring double life of legal and financial work when he unfortunately cannot write.  He drinks far too much coconut water and loves writing different types of books, currently working on a fantasy and teen fiction book along with other children's stories.
