Contributor Bio:  Hall, John John Hall can still remember the first book he ever read. "It was Harry The Dirty Dog". Since that day, he's always loved reading. When he was in fifth grade, he decided he was going to be a writer when he grew up and wrote his first novel, "The Mystery of the Leopard's Eyes" (unfortunately, it was never published and to this day, still sits in his desk drawer). But years later he did become a published author. John grew up in Brooklyn, with a younger brother and twenty-one cousins (yes, 21!), but now lives in New York City.
