ERIC HAAN has been an educator for over twenty years. Along the way, he has been a lifeguard, a painter, a police officer, and most importantly, a voracious reader and writer. A life-long eleven-year-old, he also likes drawing, riding his bike, playing with his kids and dogs, and creating cool habitats for his tarantula collection. He has been writing stuff to make his students laugh, cry, be grossed out, and learn more about themselves for a long time. Eric lives in southeast Washington with his wife, two children, two dogs, and too many giant spiders. Email him at eric@jakethedragontalker.com.
