Tristan Felin was born to a military family and lived in several locations around the world. He has received several student awards, including a President's Education Award for outstanding academic achievement. He developed a level of resiliency found in other "military brats" after his father was deployed. Tristan, age eleven, wrote his first book at ten to help children cope with a parent's deployment or service overseas. He wants these children to know that they are not alone.
