Derrick Warner can usually be found in a blanket fort surrounded by his kids' books, his two boys, and his cats, Capt. Morgan and Salem. He and his family live in Ogden, Utah, where Derrick discovered his passion for children's and young adult stories while working at the local Children's Museum. A member of the Army National Guard, Derrick shared his love of books with others at the USO during his last deployment, where he also found ample time to create his own stories. He enjoys camping, road trips, and all things pirate—except for seafood.
