As a story teller I place a part of myself and my experiences in everything I write. I spend most of my time developing the characters, because I feel that people are the most complicated, fascinating and beautiful part of any story. When you read my books my hope is that you will be intrigued, filled with wonder, made to feel a little uncomfortable and then placed on the edge of your seat, kind of like riding a rollercoaster. It is what I feel is the story of life.

Book Reviews
"The How I Found Trouble Books are absolutely timeless. I've read both of them at least 3 times, they just make me laugh and feel young. I've given the books to different members of my family and we all have the same reaction. Well done and thank you Jeff Shapiro. And please we need another."
