My name is Bob Vernon. I’m a writer and a world traveler who frequently makes up clever rhymes to amuse my grandchildren and embarrass my grown kids.

Jan, my lovely and remarkably tolerant wife, and I have lived around the United States and even spent four wonderful years living in the Netherlands.

Through our journeys, we’ve seen and experienced many wonderful things. And whenever possible, we’ve tried to include our children and grandchildren in the adventures. In the process, our family has been able to learn about and appreciate many different cultures and the wonderful people we have met along the way. It is our hope that we have instilled that sense of adventure and exploration in the future generations of our family.

For us, this life has truly been a gift. It’s my desire to share that gift through An Iguana Named Lana and future books.

I invite and encourage you to come along and explore the world … if only in your imagination.
