Meet the Author
J. Harris Anderson
Two passions directed my life from an early age: riding and writing.
I wrote my first book when I was about seven. It was a tale of adventurers landing on an uncharted island where they encountered dinosaurs and other dangers. I was both author and illustrator. I was, therefore, at the forefront (if a bit prematurely) of the graphic novel craze. I also designed the cover, punched holes in two pieces of cardboard, ran string through the holes, and bound the pages together.
