About John Flanagan
John A. Flanagan grew up in Sydney, Australia hoping to be a writer. It wasn’t until he
wrote a highly uncomplimentary poem about a senior executive at the agency he
worked, however, that his talent was revealed. It turned out one of the company
directors agreed with John’s assessment of the executive, and happily agreed to
train John in copywriting. After writing advertising copy for the next two
decades, John teamed with an old friend to develop a television sitcom, Hey Dad!, which went on to air for eight
years. John began writing the Ranger’s Apprentice series as a way to encourage his son, Michael, to enjoy reading. He currently lives in the suburb
of Manly, Australia, with his wife.
