About the Author

CHARLES DISMAS BURGESS, (a/k/a Chuckie), lives in Los Angeles and works as a music researcher investigating copyrights and the historical origins of music for the film, television, and Internet entertainment industries. Chuckie was once the youngest on-air host ever employed by WJCC radio in suburban Boston, where he produced a weekly 4-hour
broadcast in the mid 1980s. He took his creative talents to California in 1995 and became a production assistant on several television shows including Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher, where he periodically contributed monologue material. He is a member of ASCAP and has over 20 original compositions registered. He had written several speculative screenplays before the publication of Gramma's Critters, his first children's book, in 2010. Chuckie attended Syracuse University where he met his wife Heather. The Burgesses have four children: nine-year-old Dylan, six-year-old twins Quinn and Annie, and one-year-old Henry.
