Jeremy Rodden

I am an overeducated stay-at-home dad to three wonderful sons. I have a BA in Religion and English Writing and an MA in Education. I worked briefly as a high school English teacher before we opted to keep me home when my second son was born in 2010. As a writer, I consider C.S. Lewis, Lewis Carroll, Douglas Adams, and Neil Gaiman my strongest influences. I enjoy multi-layered plots, clever wordplay, and bad jokes.

I have entered the Blogosphere.

Share:FacebookTwitteremailTumblrPinterestGreetings! With my book nearing the final stages of preparation for publishing, I have decided to convert toonopolis.com into an author’s blog.  I have no idea exactly what I will be posting about.  Maybe I’ll focus on what it’s like to be a stay-at-home dad.  Maybe I’ll focus on my writing.  I have no idea.  …
