Peter Cashwell grew up in Chapel Hill, NC, and attended the University of North Carolina. He has had the writer's usual string of unusual jobs--radio announcer, comic-book critic, improv comedy accompanist--but makes his living teaching English. THE AMAZING Q is his first book for children. His debut, THE VERB ' TO BIRD', an irreverent nonfiction work about birding, was selected as a Discover! book by Barnes and Noble, a BookSense 76 pick by the American Booksellers Association, and one of "Martha's Favorite Books" by the producers of Martha Stewart Living Television. He is also the author of ALONG THOSE LINES, focused on state borders, genre boundaries, and other division markers, which received favorable reviews from Booklist and Slate.com. His writing has appeared in The New York Times, Living Bird Magazine, the Chicago Tribune, and The Comics Journal, as well as on Audubon.com and in the anthologies BASKETBALL IN AMERICA: From the Playgrounds to Jordan's Game and LITERARY CASH: Writings Inspired by the Legendary Johnny Cash. He and his wife, Kelly Dalton, live in Virginia, where he reads books, watches birds, plays the guitar and piano, and doesn't get to see nearly enough college basketball games.
