Gary Buettner
From Gary himself: “Who writes this stuff? Me. My name is Gary Buettner (Bit-ner) and I’ve been writing spooky stories since junior high, but I’ve been making up my own superheroes and stories since I was a little kid. Once, I even won a ten-speed bike by making up my own superhero for a contest on the back of a cereal box! I studied creative writing in college at Indiana University where I won a couple awards for my stories. I love everything about Halloween and sometimes I like to make stuffed toy monsters. When I was thinking about new monsters to make, I drew a picture of Frankenstein’s goldfish. Before I had a chance to sew it, I started wondering who would take care of such a crazy fish and the idea of a paranormal petsitter was born. I have four kids and I live with my family in Indiana. In fact, Mina from Monster Pets is named after my oldest daughter, Mina.”
