About Me

Jake Bell declared his intention to be a writer when he was seven years old. His mother gave him one piece of advice: "Get a good day job." After fifteen years in the job market, Jake had been a sportscaster, a magician, a disc jockey, a bagel baker, professional wrestling referee, a college English instructor, and a minor league second baseman, and earned a BA and MBA--but he hadn't gotten much writing done. Finally, during a stint of unemployment, Jake got fed up with trying to find a good day job and wrote I Think My Teacher is a Superhero, his first middle grade novel. Jake lives in Phoenix, Arizona with his two kids from whom he regularly poaches ideas for picture book manuscripts.
