R. U. Ginns

R.U. Ginns lives in a building close to a bridge, just outside of a major American city. He collects books, graphic novels, take-out menus, and old catalogs, and spends countless hours sifting through them, trying to decide which things are made up, and which are real.

He is NOT related to Russell Ginns, who is the author of the Samantha Spinner adventure series and Puzzlooies puzzle-story books.
