Author Info
John Flanagan began his working life in advertising before moving to freelance writing and script editing. He has written TV jingles and comedy-drama for television, and is one of Australia\'s more prolific TV writers. \n \nJohn wrote the first book in The Ranger\'s Apprentice series to encourage his twelve-year-old son to enjoy reading. Michael was a small boy, and all his friends were bigger and stronger that he was. John wanted to show him that reading was fun, and heroes weren\'t necessarily big and muscular. Now in his mid-twenties, Michael is six feet tall, broad-shouldered and powerful - but he still loves The Ranger\'s Apprentice. \n \nJohn lives in the beachside Sydney suburb of Manly.
