O autoru
Mr. Griffin's foray into the literary world began in the second grade when he was forced to write "I will not talk in class" one hundred times on the blackboard. Tales of the Lost Flamingo will be his first published book since that traumatic experience. Tales of the Lost Flamingo was written over a thirty-three year span while Mr. Griffin was a professional aviator and working on his ongoing masterpiece, A Brief History of Heaven and Earth, which currently exceeds twelve thousand hand-written pages and is in dire need of an editor ever since Mr. Griffin's previous editor underwent a sex change operation and started an online dating service for transgender singles. The author enjoys his free time snow-birding between Delaware and Florida with his wife who just so happens to be the only girl in second grade who wouldn't talk to him. In a rare interview, Mr. Griffin was quoted as saying, "What are the odds?"
