L.A. Fielding

L.A. Fielding is an author of children's literature and a member of the Canadian Authors Association. He dreamed up the X-tails for his two children, while telling stories on their long distance trips to the mountains each winter weekend. It is his family's cozy log home in Prince George, British Columbia, and their cabin at a local ski resort where he draws his inspiration.

Growing up skateboarding, biking, and snowboarding, L.A. Fielding now shares the fun of those sports with his family. When not writing or telling stories, he focuses his thoughts on forestry as a Registered Professional Forester. Books in the X-tails series include:

• The X-tails Snowboard at Shred Park (Theme: believing in yourself)

• The X-tails Skateboard at Monster Ramp (Theme: sharing)

• The X-tails Ski at Spider Ridge (Theme: inclusion and different abilities)

• The X-tails BMX at Thunder Track (Theme: sportsmanship and saying “I can”)

• The X-tails Surf at Shark Bay (Theme: bullying)

• The X-tails Travel to the Jamboree Jam (Theme: rhyming and learning colors)
