About the Author

Doug Robertson is writing this in the third person, because that is the convention of About the Author sections. But really, who do you think is writing it? By day he is an elementary school teacher known on the internet as The Weird Teacher, which also happens to be his twitter handle (@TheWeirdTeacher). By afternoon and weekend he is a husband to a loving and patient wife and father to two adorable and moderately insane Weirdlings. There’s also a dog who will hang out with him if the other three are away. And by night he is an author, having written two books about education- He’s the Weird Teacher and THE Teaching Text (You’re Welcome). This is his first novel.

He currently resides in the Portland area and rides a 2006 Yamaha Stratoliner named Ms Riley. He feels compelled to mention both that and that he’s been riding since 2003 lest anyone think he wrote a novel entirely about motorcycles without actually riding one. He rides every day he possibly can. Riding is the best way to get anywhere. If you meet him and ask if he wants to go for a ride he’ll tell you he needs to ask his wife and then he’ll go.
