Bowen has always loved US and world history and he made history his major in college. Bowen also loves sports history because of all the great dramas and big personalities, which is why he weaves real sports history into all of his stories.After he graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, he went to George Washington Law School in Washington, DC.Shortly after he graduated, he met Peggy Jackson, a journalist. They got married two years later and now have two grown children. Their son is a college baseball coach and their daughter works for a nonprofit in Chicago. When they were in elementary school, Bowen coached their baseball, basketball, and soccer teams-more than thirty teams in all.Bowen was a lawyer for many years and retired from practicing law so that he could write for kids full time.

He also speaks at a lot more conferences and meets more cool teachers and librarians.
