Author's Bio

Shimmy Boyle has yet to realize his childhood dream of becoming a hot air balloon operator. He enjoys walking places. His favorite animal is the duck; he just feels that it is a fantastic animal. He loves going to the woods. He tends to twiddle his thumbs. He thinks flowers are the best, but feels bad picking them, and then feels sort of silly for feeling bad. He's a pretty decent guy, with amazing dance moves. His first book of poems, Recipe For a Mountain, was published in February 2010.
