even-more-limited typing
ability. He sold his first short story in 1978, two years after
graduating from Rutgers. Armed with a degree in Philosophy and no
discernible job skills, he spent the bulk of the Carter
administration as a starving writer before accidentally discovering
he knew how to program computers.
He’s written more than two dozen books for
young readers, including Hidden Talents , Flip, Invasion of the Road Weenies, Punished!, Dunk, and Sleeping Freshmen Never Lie. His novels are on reading lists
across the country, saving countless students from a close
encounter with Madame Bovary. His short stories have
appeared in the collections of such respected anthologists as M.
Jerry Weiss and Don Gallo, and in a variety of magazines, including Boy's Life, READ, and Nickelodeon . He has published an
eclectic body of humor pieces in both national and regional
publications. In a former, geekier phase of his life, he designed
and programmed many old-school video games, including Home
Alone , and Frogger 2. In his spare time, he takes naps
on the couch.
He lives in Nazareth, Pennsylvania with his
wife and a trio of felines. He also lives online at www.davidlubar.com .
