+Biography
David Lubar was born in 1954 in Morristown, NJ. Lubar has great memories of his hometown because the streets were safe, and everything was within walking distance. As an avid reader, Lubar was fortunate to have a school librarian for a mother.
He got to spend many an hour of the day in the library. Lubar was a talkative child and it often got him into trouble. But you will not find him complaining because all those times he was kicked out of class for talking too much gave him the opportunity get immersed in his school’s collection of books.
And it when the author was done with the school library, he moved on to the town, and then the county library. There was no shortage of access to books for David Lubar as a child.
Lubar attended Rutgers College. He left with a degree in Philosophy. Unlike most authors who meander through various careers before finally returning to their first love, David Lubar went into writing immediately.

After going to college at Rutgers, where he got a degree in Philosophy (and played guitar in a bluegrass band), he tried writing for a living. Two years, nearly 100 rejections, and not many earnings later, he took a job designing and programming video games. Lubar worked on games like Home Alone, Fantastic Voyage, Carmen Sandiego, Frogger 2 and Super Breakout, before deciding in 1994 to return to writing. This time around he was more successful with his writing. He sold six books in 1995, and with some brief interludes for video game work, he’s been writing ever since. He enjoys the opportunity to create whole worlds that are as weird or magical as he wants, and someday, he’d like to write a movie or cartoon show. Lubar is married and has one daughter. He — and his cats — live in Pennsylvania. If you get a chance, see his presentation at a school or author visit — he’s a riot and kids love him.
