Anna Grossnickle Hines_Children's Author & Illustrator Jason Fry I’m the author of The Jupiter Pirates space-fantasy saga for young adults, published by HarperCollins. The series begins with The Jupiter Pirates: Hunt for the Hydra, then continues with Curse of the Iris. The third novel, The Rise of Earth, is on the way … with more to come. The Jupiter Pirates is part high-seas adventure and part space-age epic — a saga about a solar system on the brink of war and one family caught in the middle of it. Here’s the elevator pitch: When you’re a privateer, running a starship is a family business. For starters, they have to make a living however they can, all while dodging pirates and Earth’s dreaded warships.

At least, that is where I lived when I was young. My mother says I never grew up and still act like I was 6 years old. She may be right, but I figure that I act like a very mature 6 year old. When I was 12 my older brother kicked me in the mouth the day after I got my braces off. I almost flunked first grade and also the second, third, fourth, and fifth; but my younger brother was in the grade behind me, and he was a brain and nobody wanted to have me be in the same grade as him, so they kept passing me. I did, however, all through elementary school, write poetry. I studied for 7 years to be a Jesuit priest, only to find that I was lousy priest material. While I was studying to be a Jesuit priest, I worked part-time at an orphanage to escape from deadly classes in philosophy.
