Cy Tymony
Cy reads six newspapers a day. "I am inquisitive about all aspects of how life works," the Los Angeles author/inventor says. His career started as a child, when he made a sleeve-mounted shocker device to defend himself from schoolyard bullies. His Sneaky Uses books explore the delight of finding. He also roller-skates, practices aikido and judo, plays with cardboard boomerans, and eats tuna salad when he is not working on finding still more sneaky uses for everyday things.
