Dave Connis writes words you can sing and words you can read. He lives in Chattanooga, TN, with his wife, Clara; two kids (a son and a daughter); and a dog that barks at nonexistent threats. When he's not writing YA or MG, he interprets software-developer-speak as a technical writer at Skuid, a startup based out of Chattanooga.
