Lewis Buzbee is a fourth generation Californian. He began writing in 1972, at the upripe age of 15, after reading the first chapter of John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath, and unfortunately, things haven't improved since then. He sold his first two short stories in 1979 and has been published, and unpublished, since then. He's worked as, in this order, a dishwasher, a bookseller, a publisher, a caterer, a bartender, and a teacher of writing. He and his wife, the poet Julie Bruck, live in San Francisco. His books include The Yellow Lighted Bookshop, Blackboard, Fliegelman's Desire, After the Gold Rush, and First to Leave Before the Sun. His first novel for middle grade readers, Steinbeck's Ghost, was selected for these honors: a Smithsonian Notable Book, a Northern California Book Award Nominee, the Northern California Independent Booksellers' Association Children's Book of the Year, and the California Library Association's John and Patricia Beatty Award. His second middle-grade novel, The Haunting of Charles Dickens, won the Northern California Book Award, was nominated for an Edgar Award, and was chosen as a Judy Lopez Memorial Award honor book. He is also the author of Bridge of Time, a time travel MG mystery about Mark Twain. A new novel, Diver, will be published in March of 2025
