Xander J. Barone is an 11-year-old author and creator of the J&J Adventure Series. He lives in Connecticut with his mom, dad, and brother.

Xander has been fascinated by space since he was seven and dreams of one day watching humans land on Mars. That love of space inspired him to write The Secret Space Mission—his very first published book.

When he’s not writing stories, Xander enjoys building LEGO, playing Minecraft with his his best friend Antonio, making music on Reason 13, drawing character designs and houses, doing Jiu-Jitsu with his brother, and learning everything he can about space.

Xander is already working on his next adventure and hopes to inspire other kids to create their own stories.
