EDWARD PACKARD was born in 1931 in Huntington, New York, and worked as a lawyer before becoming a full-time writer. He wrote the first book in Bantam's classic Choose Your Own Adventure series, The Cave of Time, and wrote many other titles in the series. His book Imagining the Universe (1994), received a Scientific American book award. His recent writings are available at edwardpackard.com. 

R. A. MONTGOMERY wrote his first interactive book, Journey Under the Sea, in 1976 and published it under the series name The Adventures of You. A few years later Bantam Books bought this book, renamed the series Choose Your Own Adventure, and a publishing phenomenon was born. The series has sold more than 260 million copies in over 40 languages.

D. TERMAN worked as a novelist for many years, writing for the Choose Your Own Adventure series as well as novels of political intrigue and adventure for adults, including First Strike, Free Flight, Shell Game, Cormorant, and several others. His wife, Seddon Johnson, also contributed two titles to the Choose Your Own Adventure series.
