John Flanagan grew up in Sydney, Australia, hoping to
be a writer, and after a successful career in advertising and
television, he began writing a series of short stories for his son,
Michael, in order to encourage him to read. Those stories would
eventually become The Ruins of Gorlan, Book 1 of the Ranger’s
Apprentice epic. Together with his companion series, Brotherband
Chronicles, the novels of John Flanagan have now sold millions of
copies and made readers of kids the world over. Mr. Flanagan
lives in the suburb of Manly, Australia, with his wife. In addition
to their son, they have two grown daughters and four grandsons.
