About The Author

Charlene Thomas is a Georgia native and retired high school special education teacher. She is a long-time Georgia Bulldog fan, with many UGA graduates in her family. Charlene is the proud owner of a golden retriever, Munson, who stars in the UGA books. Munson's brother, Levi, is the star of the other books in the series.   

The Game Ball Series was inspired by Charlene's grandson playing hide-and-seek with his parents. Dad would hide, and Mom would say,  "Is Daddy under the table?" Grandson would yell, "NO!" And the idea of the search for the missing game ball was born!

Munson lives a happy, quiet life with two Maine Coon cats, Sanford and Milledge, and enjoys playing in the yard and chasing his beloved tennis ball.
