About the author

Cullen Gwin was born and raised in California and still makes it his home. He always loved writing, even as a youngster, and remembers when his mother would make his sisters listen to his latest creation around the dinner table. This event was always met by a groan from his siblings. Thankfully his writing has improved since then and it is much more welcome to his readers. He has written several books for the 14 Fun Facts and other Learning Island series.
