Wil Mara, a lifelong fan of the National Football League, and has written a series of NFL novels. He has written both fiction and nonfiction, for both children and adults. He is the award-winning author of more than two hundred books, many of them educational titles for children in the Scholastics catalog. He began writing in the late 1980s with several nonfiction titles about herpetology. He branched into fiction in the mid-1990s, when he ghost-wrote five of the popular Boxcar Children Mysteries. He has since authored more than a dozen novels. [2018]
