John Colón started telling stories to his niece, Karyn, and nephew, Tim, when they were little. That tradition continued with storytelling to his three children, Tessa, Jon-Micah, and Sofia. Now John tells his stories to his grandchildren, Gideon, Bodhi, and Ivy. Book one of the Gilbert series is an expansion of a story John would tell Gideon frequently. In fact, Gilbert is based on Gideon. This is John’s debut book, but watch for Book 2 in the Gilbert’s Adventures series. John lives with his wife, Kim, and their two dogs, Finn and Loki.
