AUTHOR Biography:
GERARD V. AFLAGUE (1969-) was born on the pacific island of Guam (a U.S. Territory), to Chamorro parents, and grew up in the village of Sinajana, during which time he relocated to the U.S. mainland in 2006, where he now lives with his family. With his professional career steeped in technical research and writing for the U.S. Government, he has enjoyed the art of illustrating since the age of 16, and now book publishing. His passion is to illustrate, author, and publish a variety of titles that embrace cultural themes, to entertain his readers, and to educate the young and old through children's bilingual language learning books, rhyming story books, Christian Chamorro prayer books, and short stories.
