About the Author

WILLIAM RITTER began writing Jackaby in the middle of the night when his son was still an infant. After getting up to care for him, Will would lie awake, his mind creating rich worlds and fantasies—such as the ones in New Fiddleham. Will lives and teaches in Springfield, Oregon. Find him on twitter: @Willothewords. (Photo (c) Katrina Santoro.)
