About the author:
Jay Cutts is an inspired fan of sci-fi/fantasy authors like
Terry Pratchett and Jasper Fforde who find humor in the
human condition and express it artfully.
Jay's first novel is Death by Haggis, which
has been on the NY Times list of novels that have sold 12
copies. It is a tongue-in-cheek detective novel inspired
by the Bulwer-Lytton contest for the first line to the worst
of all possible novels.
Annie Gomez and the Gigantic Foot of Doom
is Jay's entry into the Young Adult genre. Jay reports,
"Writing about high school students feels like totally
natural, dude. Seriously, I don't think I've ever left that
time behind and it feels great to put myself back in those
simpler but completely baffling times. It's like being allowed
to lick your plate at the table or walk around the house
with no pants on. Well, ok, you also have to save the world
when that's needed but you don't need any adults helping
out.
"The teen view of the world feels in
some ways more real to me than the adult view. It's full
of passion, life and death decisions, broken hearts, amazing
possibilities. And humor. Always humor. Humor is love and
there's always love."
Jay is also the lead author of three test
prep products for Barron's Educational Services. These books
are, hopefully, nonfiction and any humor in them is very
carefully hidden.
In his spare time Jay dances, plays Eastern
European music on the accordion, travels to exotic places,
gardens, likes eating fresh fruit right off the trees (with
his pants on) and plays with his wonderful granddaughter,
Aliya Gomez, and her wonderdog, Baxter.
