Dito Abbott

Biography

Dito ("dee-toe" - rhymes with "Cheetoh") Abbott writes MG/YA fantasy novels because the alternative (building a trans-dimensional portal) is highly math-intensive and risks opening doors to worlds where pizza does not exist. As a lifelong sailor who circumnavigated the globe by the age of twenty-seven, he is drawn to adventure and squeezes airships, secret temples, and fang-ridden creatures (with extra ooze) into his stories at every opportunity. He wrote his debut novel, Terravenum, over the course of two years, while sailing from Florida to Mexico with his parents, wife, and kids.
