Frank Tupta grew up in a haunted house in Cleveland, Ohio. His favorite holiday is Halloween. He currently lives in Peninsula, Ohio (a haunted town), surrounded by the Cuyahoga Valley National Park with his wife, children’s book author and illustrator Lindsay Ward; their children; and Sally, a rambunctious pit-bull/Lab mix. How to Build a Haunted House is his debut picture book. In addition to writing for children, he also works on www.critterlit.com, a website offering critiques and advice to up-and-coming authors and illustrators.
