In 2005, during the mandatory evacuation for Hurricane Katrina, Spires began writing the first of many children's stories. It's hard to believe that it took a hurricane to launch my writing career. But since that first story, I have not stopped writing. Hurricane Katrina may have flooded New Orleans with water, but it flooded my mind with stories, he says. Spires is a member of the Society of Children's book Writers and Illustrators. Spires and his wife, Eve, reside in Slidell, LA with their two of their five children. Jonathan Caron began his career as an illustrator at seventeen years old! Clearly a family tradition as this young man's mother, Romi, is a professional illustrator as well.

Caron lives near Ottawa in Gatineau, Quebec (Canada)....
