Caleb Roehrig is an author of young adult thrillers, including Last Seen Leaving, White Rabbit, and Death Prefers Blondes. A native of Ann Arbor, Michigan, he has also lived in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Helsinki, Finland.

As a former actor and television producer, Roehrig has experience on both sides of the camera, with a resume that includes appearances on film and TV -- not to mention seven years in the stranger-than-fiction salt mines of reality television.

In the name of earning a paycheck, he has: hung around a frozen cornfield in his underwear, partied with an actual rock star, chatted with a scandal-plagued politician, and been menaced by a disgruntled ostrich.
