Award-winning author Francis Moss has written and story-edited hundreds of hours of scripts on many of the top animated shows of the 90s and 00s. Beginning his television work in live-action with Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, he soon starting writing cartoons ("a lot more jobs, and also more fun"), staff writing and freelancing on "She-Ra, Princess of Power, Iron Man, Ducktales", and a four-year stint on "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", writing and story-editing more episodes than you can swing a nuchaku at. One of his TMNT scripts, "The Fifth Turtle," was the top-rated script among all the 193 episodes in a fan poll on IGN.COM. A list of his television credits is at IMDB.COM. Francis, in partnership with Ted Pedersen, also wrote three middle-grade non-fiction books: "Internet For Kids, Make Your Own Web Page", and "How To Find (Almost) Anything On The Internet". "Internet For Kids" was a big success, with three revised editions and twelve foreign language versions. He's the sole author of The Rosenberg Espionage Case. After high school where he grew up in Los Angeles, Francis had one dismal semester at a junior college, and then enlisted in the Army. He became a military policeman and served in Poitiers, France, falling in love with the country, taking his discharge there and traveling around Europe (including running with the bulls in Pamplona) until his money ran out. He attended the University of California, Berkeley and became active in the civil rights and anti-war movements, still managing to earn a BA and an MA in English lit ("the major of choice for wannabe writers"). His first novel, "Losing Normal", was awarded a Gold Medal from the Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators, & a Reader’s Favorite Silver Medal. His latest novels are the best-selling "She-Wolf", and "Operation Overlord". Francis is married to Phyllis, a former music teacher and active viola player. They have a son, a daughter and one grandson. They live in Joshua Tree, California.
