Author bio

C. Alexander London grew up in Baltimore, Maryland, and later moved to New York for college. He studied philosophy at Columbia University, then earned a master's degree in library science from Pratt Institute.

Before writing fiction full time, London worked several very different jobs. He reported from conflict zones and refugee camps as a journalist and human rights researcher. He also worked as a young adult librarian for the New York Public Library, assisted a film agent, and sold snorkeling gear.

That is quite a resumé for someone who writes about reluctant adventurers, military animals, and kids trying to solve impossible problems.

London writes under more than one version of his name. As Alex London, he has written books for teens and adults, including the science-fiction novels Proxy and Guardian, the fantasy series beginning with Black Wings Beating, and nonfiction such as One Day the Soldiers Came and Far From Zion. As C. Alexander London, he writes many of his books for younger readers.

His middle-grade work often puts young people or animals in situations that demand nerve, loyalty, and quick thinking. The Accidental Adventure books follow twins Celia and Oliver Navel, who would much rather watch television than trek through dangerous places. Dog Tags looks at military working dogs and the people who depend on them. In Tides of War, trained marine mammals and their handlers take on risky naval missions.

Then there is The Wild Ones, an animal adventure about Kit, a raccoon forced to make a new life in a city divided between wild creatures and pets. London also contributed to the globe-trotting The 39 Clues world and wrote the comic-book-style picture book The Adventures of Wrong Man and Power Girl!, illustrated by Frank Morrison.

The range makes sense. His books move from silly jokes and big escapes to questions about family, responsibility, fear, and what people owe one another.

London has said that, despite his own travels and unusual work history, he prefers danger in stories. That feeling shows up in his books: the action can get wild, but it is usually balanced by humor, teamwork, and characters who care fiercely about their friends.

He lives in Philadelphia with his husband, daughter, and dog. He continues to write for readers of different ages, shifting comfortably between picture books, middle-grade adventures, teen fiction, and nonfiction.
