Jon Haney is a children’s book author and fiction writer. You can find him telling stories to his four kids at bedtime, camping on the balcony, or playing chess in the park. Jon grew up in Northeast Georgia close to the Appalachian Mountains. As a kid, he loved reading. Book series such as The Boxcar Children, The Hardy Boys, and Redwall captivated him at an early age, and now Jon reads these same books to his children.
