Jon EtterThe author of this dreadful tale, one Mr. Jon Etter, grew up in his local library in Forrest, Illinois (Population 1200 and some dogs) and eventually migrated north to Wisconsin, where he has taught high school English for the past twenty years. Whennot teaching or attempting to domesticate his two children, Jon has written a number of proper tales--mostly fantasy--for The London Journal of Fiction, The Singularity, The Great Tome of Forgotten Relics and Artifacts, and other venues. A Dreadful Fairy Book is his first novel for kids and he's loved every minute of working on it that wasn't spent with Quentin Q. Quacksworth, whom Jon describes as "the opposite of fun," although he does enjoy how annoyed Quacksworth gets when referred to as "Triple Q" or "Q Cubed." Read More Read Less
