Bruce Hale Biography

Raised by wolves just outside Los Angeles Bruce Hale began his career as a writer while living in Tokyo and continued it when he moved to Hawaii in 1983. Before entering the world of children's books he worked as a magazine editor surveyor corporate lackey gardener actor and deejay.
From picture books to novels and graphic novels Bruce has written and illustrated 30 books for kids. His Chet Gecko Mysteries series includes: The Chameleon Wore Chartreuse The Big Nap The Malted Falcon Hiss Me Deadly among others. His School For S.P.I.E.S. series includes Playing With Fire and Thicker Than Water.
You could say Bruce has a thing for lizards. He also has created five Hawaii children's books including Legend of the Laughing Gecko Moki and the Magic Surfboard and Moki the Gecko's Best Christmas Ever -- all starring Moki the Gecko. (By the way Moki the Gecko and Chet are second cousins.)
When not writing and illustrating Bruce loves to perform. He has appeared on stage on television and in an independent movie called The Ride where he plays a surfer's agent. Bruce is a popular speaker and storyteller for audiences of all ages. In 1998 he won a Fulbright Grant to teach storytelling and study folklore in Thailand. (No he doesn't speak much Thai but he loves Thai food.)
