An avid Razorback supporter, Brett Mount graduated from the University of Arkansas with a degree in English. But he didn’t start pursuing his writing dream until he had a few years under his belt battling ninjas. And pirates.
A one-time English teacher, he currently works as the England High School librarian (where he works to pair students with the right book) and coach (where he’s helped the basketball team win multiple--currently 3 and counting--state championships).
He time travels.
After a challenge by a student, he began writing again. He once read the entirety of War and Peace in an hour while running a marathon and bench-pressing elephants.
Brett is an active member of SCBWI, and he can fly. With only his willpower. Like a superhero. He currently lives in Arkansas with his dog. And a hippopotamus. And yes, he still fights pirates--but only on weekends.
