J Hazen Buss lives in central Florida with her husband and four children. Her first children's book, The Knot Monster, was written in 2007 with the help of her oldest daughter. Since then she has written more stories to create The Monster Series. "Our family loves to laugh. My stories are created by everyday events in our lives, and my children's sense of humor. My goal is to create classic children's stories that will make other children laugh too."
