From the Author:
As a traveler and multilingual teacher, Paul has clocked nearlyhalf his life outside the US. When he was a teenager, he slept on the streetsof London to watch a royal wedding. He took the CIA exam because he wanted tobe a spy for the good guys (and not the Good Company). He was an au pair in France and built a children's library in Africa.

"I write shorter stories that I would have wanted to read when I wasten, eleven, twelve-- realistic and exciting international espionage novels steeped in mystery, intrigue, and deception. I want children to see that the impossible may in fact be possible, and that children may have more power than they think. This middle school series is set in international locales because travel has made me feel alive and given me an insatiable curiosity to learn... which I feel absolutely driven to share with you."

A former middle school teacher, Aertker says he writes for this age group because he relates to it. "I act like a child," he says with a laugh. "My emotional level doesn't really go past age eleven! For me to write for this age group is easy because I can get there pretty quickly."
