Uh, actually, I have a story to tell you, if you would mind I'd like to tell you. Follow me to my bench.
I ended up just publishing it in daily installments on funbrain.com, and I signed a deal with a publishing company in 2006, with publications starting in 2007.
So, my full name is Jeffery Patrick Kinney, and I was born on February 19, 1971, which currently makes me 52 years old.
I have two kids named Will and Grant, but they're not home right now. Their mother, my wife's name is Julie.
When creating Diary of a Wimpy Kid, my intention wasn't to be a children's author. I actually wanted to become a newspaper cartoonist, but they never officially brought me on board.
Thank you! That's really all I have to say, so I think you should get off of my property before I'm forced to call the authorities...
Since I started publishing Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2007, the series has gone on to win many regional and national awards around the globe.
Currently, I have over 15 books in the main series, and I'm sure there's way more to come!
Wow, that's so cool! I've always admired you for your works and I'm excited to see what you'll come up with next!
