Biographie de l'auteur

George Kalabry decided to become a writer in the Sixth Grade, after he read his first Hardy Boy mystery. Several counselors through the years advised him to pursue another career because he had little talent for writing. He became a high-school teacher instead. After a long and stormy career in the classroom, he retired early from teaching, somewhat disillusioned. "I couldn't stand the permissiveness and mediocrity around me. My conservative values flew in the face of Political Correctness." He lamented."Jailbait in Jeopardy" is his first novel. It was an uphill struggle every inch of the way. Writing a novel is a monastic endeavor that requires faith and self-discipline."Nowadays George enjoys watching the History Channel and the Fox News Network on TV. When he feels bored, he does substitute teaching in a suburban school system, grateful that he does not have to toil these every day.
