Mir Khalid Ali

Mir Khalid Ali is an avid traveler, blogger, and foodie. He is the husband of an outstanding woman and father of two amazing children (a boy and a girl). He grew up on a farm in a small town in Western Pennsylvania and currently lives with his family in the Greater Chicago area. He and his children have been taking Brazilian jiu-jitsu lessons since 2017. In the author's own words as to what inspired him to start writing:

"Ever since I was a kid, I have loved to read. I devoured books of all shapes and sizes. Pizza Hut’s “Book-It” program was made for me, and man, those “one-topping personal pan pizzas” were a boy’s dream come true! I’d pretty much read anything I got my hands on, including my female cousins’ The Baby-Sitters Club series. Eventually, I started writing my own stories, secretly aspiring to emulate my heroes: Roald Dahl, Sid Fleischman, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Gertrude Warner, Lynn Reid Banks, R. L. Stine, and a whole bunch of others."
