Peter Aronson is a lawyer and children's book author living in New York City with his wife and two teenage daughters. Peter began writing books for kids after seeing his children read one dystopian-type book after another. Thus was born his Groundbreaker series: Short biographies for middle-grade readers about extraordinary people doing extraordinary things. Also, coming in the fall is the start of Peter's Mandalay Hawk adventure series - novels about a wacky and extremely motivated 15-year-old girl who decides to tackle the world's most monumental problems. Mandalay has no clue and no chance, but she and her friends decide they want to stop global warming. You'll read a lot about KRAAP: Kids Revolt Against Adult Power. When Peter is not researching or writing his books, Peter continues to practice law, focusing on elder law, assisting senior citizens with their legal problems. Before Peter was a practicing lawyer, he was an award-winning journalist covering the legal world. Peter wrote newspaper stories for the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel, The Recorder (San Francisco) and The National Law Journal. Peter produced TV shows for Court TV. Peter covered many prominent cases, including the Rodney King beating trial, the OJ Simpson murder trial and Bush v. Gore, the legal case following the 2000 presidential election.
