As the great-great-grand nephew of P.T. Barnum, C.L. Van Liew tries to keep a low profile.
So far, it's not going well. It all started with that time he flew a plane over the Mozambiquan border, right into the middle of a civil war. Once there he took up competitive pepper eating and learned how to corral pigs. Later, things got really wild that time he got stuck in a cave in China that was supposed to grant anyone who entered with a hundred years of life.
And then he turned ten.
It was all downhill from there. Visits from the FBI, rock climbing the Tunisian Colosseum, and saving the lives of multiple children (mostly his own), C.L. Van Liew just can't keep his head down. Then for some reason a narrator started following him around, writing everything about him down in the third person.
He decided he'd had enough. So he settled down and became an author...
...Sort of...
When he's not pounding away on his keyboard for stories, he's working with his wife as a consultant building out business process improvement systems, travelling worldwide, and writing marketing content.
He currently splits his time between his home in the northwest suburbs of Chicago and a hamlet in the foothills of the Italian Alps.
