JL lives with his family, including two rescue dogs and a rescue kitty, in a really old house just outside of San Francisco, CA. He's not sure if the house is haunted, but sometimes he hears weird noises in the middle of the night and wonders what his pets are staring at in the hallway. JL has published all kinds of things for adults and kids, but likes writing scary stories most of all. Sometimes he sleeps with the lights on.
