Commander Groove has a wildly imaginative mind. The swirling wackiness in his head jumps from the pages straight into readers' heads, where memories of his tales echo pleasantly forever. A lifetime of extraordinary adventures around the world gives Groove his unending overflow of madcap ideas for unpredictable, twisting plots and clever, cunning dialogue.
Groove earned a B.A. in finance, and then did nothing with that degree. He prefers manual labor. Philly-born and Philly-raised – with the accent to prove it – Commander Groove commands you and your flagging imagination to hop aboard for a groovilicious ride!
Somehow Commander Groove makes you feel like you're right there beside his heroes, living the action. The goodhearted protagonists hook you in and glue you to their escapades. His antagonists are a whole lot of fun to despise, or sympathize with, depending on how screwed up in the head you are. Commander Groove loves humanity, so expect to find his stories rich with morals good for kids and, let's face it, adults.
When Commander Groove pries himself away from his embarrassingly old laptop, he enjoys sailing. He likes the challenge of not falling overboard or crashing into rocks, and he narrowly escaped an early death by failing to prevent the latter. Nevertheless, Commander Groove plans to set sail from Philadelphia and brave the choppy Atlantic. His goal is to not disembark until he gets to Ireland, where he wants to become famous.
