Jonathan got his start with writing in high school and college when he became fascinated with poetry. He received a Masters Degree in Social Science and never studied literature. However, he considered himself a writer by the time he graduated college. He danced in a modern dance company after college and worked many odd jobs. All the while, Jonathan was writing. His poems and short stories were published in magazines, but he was hardly making a living. The big change happened when Aaron and Sean were born and Jonathan switched his focus to writing for children. His stories got picked up and published! He was meant to do this all along! Now he is making a living as a writer- his dream come true.

Very fittingly, Aaron and Sean have been London's inspiration for the Froggy series. London also states that Froggy is meant to represent and relate to every child. Humor is very important to London's writing as is adventure and the outdoors.

"There are worlds of possibility within our own imaginations from which we can create stories that can make someone want to cry or laugh, play a saxophone or make a snowman. This act of writing, for me, is a part of my celebration of life, a way to give back a little for all that I have been given. A kind of thanks."
