James Gelsey is the author of Scooby-Doo! Mysteries chapter books (45 titles and counting) published by Scholastic, Inc. James is currently working on a new series for Scholastic called the Scooby-Doo! Case Files.
 Over the past eight years, he helped develop Scholastic's Scooby-Doo! & You: Collect the Clues Mysteries; has written Nick Zone chapter books featuring SpongeBob SquarePants; adaptated What's New, Scooby-Doo? television cartoons for the “Scooby-Doo, Junior” chapter book series; and created chapter-book adaptations of the popular Dragon Booster animated series (as seen on JETIX). Many of his “Scooby-Doo!” titles have been translated into Spanish and French.
When not working on original stories or new adventures for Scooby and the gang, James regularly visits schools across the country. His "WRITE NOW!" Creative Writing Programs inspire students to use their imaginations as they unravel the mysteries of the creative writing process. To date, thousands of youngsters across seventeen states have participated in his outstanding programs.
Before devoting himself full-time to writing, James worked extensively in the education field, serving as a teacher, principal and coordinator of national education conferences. James's background also includes several years in theater and a stint in advertising.
James is a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators and is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania. He resides with his wife and two daughters in northern New Jersey, where he served for five years as a Trustee of his town’s municipal library.
