ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Tamra Orr is a full-time writer and author living in the gorgeous Pacific Northwest. She loves her
job because she learns more about the world every single day and then turns that information into
pop quizzes for her patient and tolerant children (ages 23, 21, and 18). She has written more than
350 nonfiction books for people of all ages, so she never runs out of material and is sure she’d be a
champion on Jeopardy!
