Welcome to Author Michael Mullin
Bio:
Michael grew up in New England, where all his sports allegiances remain. He is co-author of the successful Larry Gets Lost picture book series, and was recognized by the WGA’s Written By magazine for an animation screenplay. Before writing as a career, he taught preschool and college, two positions he found disconcertingly similar. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife and 10-year-old twins who pretty much run his life (despite his best efforts to appear as if he is running theirs).
Interview:
If you could travel in a Time Machine would you go back to the past or into the future?
Back, but just far enough to make my sports betting more lucrative.
If you could invite any 5 people to dinner who would you choose?
I’m passionate about the need to overhaul our country’s education system. I’d invite Ken Robinson and Geoffrey Canada and have them help me find three other influential people (notice I didn’t say “powerful”) to share ideas and further the plan of action.
What is one book everyone should read?
Mine. It is (as we would say back in Boston) wicked short.
If you could meet one person who has died, whom would you choose?
Although I can sadly add Steve Jobs to the list now, it would probably be Joseph Campbell. Fascinating breadth of knowledge and a wonderful storyteller – seemingly without the pretension. (I don’t know for sure; I never met him!)
Pet Peeves?
I don’t have a pet. And if I did, I certainly wouldn’t name him “Peeves”.
Please tell us in one sentence only, why we should read your book.
Who doesn’t like an alternative way of seeing something we thought we knew all about?
