Allan Zullo is an American non-fiction writer. He is the best-selling, versatile author or co-author of more than 120 paperbacks for adults on a broad range of subjects for general audiences and younger readers. Perhaps best known for his offbeat books on everything from Butter My Butt and Call Me a Biscuit to The Baseball Hall of Shame, Allan has also tackled serious topics such as heroism, war, crime and the Holocaust. Allan also pens three popular series for Scholastic for students in middle school: Ten True Tales, gripping stories of extraordinary persons of all ages who have met the challenges of dangerous situations; Bad Pets, hilarious, true accounts of antics in the animal world; and Haunted Kids, eerie tales inspired by real-life investigations of the supernatural. In addition, Allan has been creating daily-page boxed desk calendars since 1989. A native of Rockford, Illinois, Zullo graduated from Northern Illinois University in 1969 with a degree in journalism. His books include The Baseball Hall of Shame[1][2] and Baseball Confidential[3] (both co-written with Bruce Nash), A Boomer's Guide to Grandparenting (co-written with his wife Kathryn),[4][5] and the Haunted Kids series.[6] His syndicated comic strip "The Ghost Story Club"[7] ran in American newspapers from 1995 to 1998. Zullo currently lives in Fairview, North Carolina. Bibliography
