Paul Aertker writes the Crime Travelers series, a squeaky-clean international action-adventure series, for kids. As a traveler and multilingual teacher, Paul has clocked nearly half his life outside the US. When he was a teenager, he slept on the streets of London to watch a royal wedding. He took the CIA exam because he wanted to be a spy for the good guys (and not the "Good Company"). He was an au pair in France and built a children's library in Africa. Paul likes to read short stories for children that are filled action and adventure.
