Longer version:

Keir Graff's first book for young readers, a middle-grade novel called The Other Felix, was published in October 2011 by Roaring Brook Press. He is also the author of four novels for adults: The Price of Liberty (2010), which was a finalist for the Society of Midland Authors fiction prize; One Nation, Under God (2008); My Fellow Americans (2007); and, under the pseudonym Michael McCulloch, Cold Lessons (2007). His short stories have appeared in a wide variety of publications, from the Portland Review to the Chicago Reader. A former freelance writer, he has written about topics ranging from books and publishing to billiards and cocktails. By day, he is the editor of Booklist Online. Living in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood with his wife and two sons, he enjoys drinking scotch whiskey, playing pool, running, and coaching soccer—but not all at once.
