Ridley Pearson

Ridley Pearson likes to climb trees really tall trees in his spare time. He says he's lucky not to have too much spare time! He also plays in a rock and roll band with some other authors which has gotten him on stage with Bruce Springsteen, among others.

An Eagle Scout, Ridley doesn't remember getting a merit badge in writing.

He's had a Broadway play and a television movie made from his books. He co-writes adventure novels for younger readers with one of the funniest men on the planet, Dave Barry.

The father of two girls Paige and Storey Ridley says being a dad is the greatest job of all.

Ridley carries a VIP pass that's good for free entrance in any Disney theme park in the worldwhich might explain a few things about the Kingdom Keepers!

Also known as Wendell McCall, Joyce Reardon.
