Hal Pollock is a published author of children's books. A published credit of Hal Pollock is Meet the Brittles: In Monstermania. Hal Pollock was born in Cleveland, Ohio. He grew up loving Dr. Seuss books, baseball, and the Beatles. He graduated Cleveland Heights High School in 1968. Thereafter, he attended Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, where he obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree. He graduated in 1972, moving on to Chicago to attend law school.

In 1999, Hal Pollock decided to expand the application of his writing skills beyond the legal arena. He teamed up with top area musicians and began writing song lyrics. He also formed a music publishing company and an independent record label (Esquire Records). More than 20 songs written by Hal Pollock have been recorded by local and national performing artists.

Songs created by Hal Pollock can we heard on his music web site including Daughters and Sons, and anti-gun violence anthem, and American Spirit, a powerful 9/11 tribute written on the evening of the World Trade Center attack. Both songs were recorded by Sonny Geraci, former lead singer of the Outsiders (Time Won’t Let Me) and Climax (Precious and Few).

In 2003, Hal Pollock applied his imagination and talent for rhyme to his first effort at writing a book for children, inspired by late-night noises in his own home that reminded him of childhood concerns about monsters lurking in the house. So Many Monsters was written in three days. Illustrated by John Beukemann, early draft copies were circulated among friends and family. The enthusiastic response prompted Pollock to write more, always relating to the age-old fear and fascination with childhood monsters. Monstermania and Monster at the Bat quickly followed.

Hal Pollock lives in suburban Cleveland with his wife, a long time special education teacher. He has two children, both of whom have already become very successful.
