Don Bosco (author)

Don Bosco received a PhD in Youth culture studies at the National University of Singapore in 2008.[8] Then, he started out writing speculative fiction for middle grade readers. His first books were the Time Talisman ebook series, originally published by Select Books, about three Singaporean kids who travel back in time.[9][10] This was followed by the Sherlock Hong series, about a young detective who lived in Singapore 100 years ago. His other titles include Diary of Young Justice Bao, based on the legendary Chinese hero Bao Zheng, and Ghostly. In 2013 Super Cool Books worked with digital partner Tusitala Books to release its first iPad. From 2014 onwards he began developing titles for an older international audience, such as Thor the Greatest, based on the Norse folk tale The Theft of Thor's Hammer . Super Cool Books typically works with collaborators from around the world, including British crime author John Rickards/Sean Cregan.

Besides writing fiction, he is a DIY/maker enthusiast and has developed learning kits for kids based on his stories. These have been featured at Hackidemia events in Singapore.[11] He was previously a freelance writer for various magazines, books and TV shows.[5][10][12] He also writes articles promoting Singapore's DIY music culture.[13]
