About the Author

Maggie van Galen is the award-winning author of the Keeno and Ernest children's book series. Growing up in Northern Michigan, she listened to her father's stories, imagining characters, being transported to the locations and engaging in the plots.

Maggie has always written as a sort of escapism...writing poetry, studying journalism and creative writing in college. After graduating from Michigan State University in 1991, she entered the corporate world of sales and marketing. After the death of her father in 1995, and meeting the man of her dreams, Maggie moved to Boston to work for a marketing firm, but writing always pulled her back. She has published a book of poetry called An Inside Look...and wrote for a small-town, New Hampshire newspaper. In 2000, she moved to London and worked at The Economist for 3 years.

As happiness began shining in her personal life the stories and words started to flow. After years of telling stories to her boys and their friends, Maggie decided to share them with the world. She truly hopes that you enjoy them too! Maggie now lives with her husband, two boys and their cat on the North Shore of Massachusetts. You can learn more at www.maggievangalen.com.
