Gordon Mostoller

Experiences with young people while teaching in the classroom bring a reality to the characters in Mr. Mostoller's books. A thirty-five-year-veteran teacher, holding a bachelor's and master's degrees in education, he has had the pleasure of working with literally thousands of young people. Making his home in north-central Minnesota, where he and his wife have four grown children and now thirteen grandchildren, family has always been central to his life.

While enjoying his years of teaching an interest has been watching young people choose books to read. He has been fascinated with the structure of a good book, especially in developing realistic characters to be identified with, in experiences as real as life. From the characters' stories in his books good things can be drawn like the importance of family, honesty, and overcoming life's problems, all in a story that holds the reader from start to finish.

Mr. Mostoller also enjoys working in his wood shop and spending time outdoors along with his wife, Audrey, on their twenty-seven acre homestead in northern Minnesota.
