Grabenstein is an award-winning, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of children’s fiction, including “Lemoncello,” “Wonderland,” “Haunted Mystery,” “Smartest Kid,” and “Dog Squad” series.

After graduating from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, Chris moved to New York City and started doing improvisational comedy in Greenwich Village. During those years, he also wrote for the Muppets and helped create the CBS holiday classic “The Christmas Gift” starring John Denver. He then spent 17 years writing radio and television commercials for brands such as KFC, Dr Pepper, Seven Up, and many others. His first boss in advertising was James Patterson.
Grabenstein, the current president of the Mystery Writers of America, and his wife still live in New York City with two cats and lots of ideas.
