About the Author
Austin J. Bailey lives in Hawaii with seventeen cats and an albino baboon. When he's not fictionalizing wizarding autobiographies or eluding the magical police, he works as a professional reindeer impersonator. He has received numerous awards and worked for several high profile clients including one with a very shiny nose who nonetheless wishes to remain anonymous. Austin enjoys long walks on the beach, reading fan mail, and collecting tumbleweeds.
But Really...
Austin J. Bailey writes action packed fantasy adventures for kids of all ages. He was born and raised in Utah. He is a fiction author and novelist, writing in the middle grade and young adult fantasy genres. Austin has been reading books and making up stories since he was a little kid. In those days, he was dressed like Peter Pan, Robin Hood, cowboys, and wizards, more often than he was dressed like himself. Today he wears normal clothes, but he is still making up stories, and now he has learned to write them down.
On his journey to becoming an author Austin had interesting side adventures like working as a landscaper, cabinet maker, massage therapist, and LDS missionary (not all at the same time). Along the way he got a black belt, a degree in psychology, a very impressive sock collection, and the most wonderful wife in the world. He enjoys traveling the world with her and their son, Daniel, eating interesting foods, exploring castles, and getting ideas for new books.
Author Austin J. Bailey has entertained over 100,000 readers with his bestselling Magemother series, and his latest work is better than ever. Featuring an endearingly overconfident and hilarious boy genius, Doors of Bone is the first in a planned series of five middle-grade fantasy novels for kids of all ages. Complete with a magical porta-potty, 157 footnotes, and a button that makes sheep fall from the sky, this is a book that you won't want to put down.
