As a seventh grader, Bill Folman drew political cartoons of Michael Dukakis and George H.W. Bush for the middle school magazine in his hometown of Easton, Connecticut. More recently, he enjoyed a brief career as a theater actor, directed a few short films, earned a few degrees (a BA from Brandeis University and an MFA from Boston University), and spent countless hours shouting at the evening news. The news has yet to shout back, but Bill remains hopeful. He currently resides in Los Angeles, where he writes books and screenplays. THE SCANDAL PLAN is his first novel.
