Sie haben nach Neff, Fred gesucht

Fred Neff, a single dad, lives and writes in the seaport town of Mystic, Connecticut. He's enjoyed rhyming since before he can remember. Calvin, Fred's young son, has inspired him to write children's stories as well as the Calvin and Dad Series. Fred is the author of eleven children's books. When speaking to children at schools, Fred is often asked how he got started writing. After stating that he learned how to rhyme by listening to songs on the radio, replacing the words with his own, he usually gets oohs and aahs of wonder from children in the audience. Then he tells them that this was even before television! After receiving a B.A. in Journalism from San Diego State University, Fred wrote numerous articles as a Contributing Editor for the San Diego Home/Garden Magazine. Eventually he set down roots in Southeastern Connecticut, where he has lived and worked for the past three decades. Fred believes that in every adversity, there is a seed of opportunity of equal, or greater, value. From the adversity of a divorce, he found a seed of opportunity in writing stories about the adventures he and his young son, Calvin, shared. This led to the publishing of numerous books. He wrote them either about Calvin or as a collaborative effort with him. Calvin often challenged his Dad to write stories for him, such as the fireman's favorite rescue story: Farnsworth the Firehose and Taylor Grief and a holiday favorite: Can Gi-Normus the Tow Truck and Squawky Palone Save Christmas?
