Austin is a 13 year old author who was born in Dover, Ohio. When he was 10, Boo the Shoe was published but he created Boo the Shoe when he was 8.
When Austin couldn't go to bed his mom told him to write a short story to help him go to sleep. While he was in bed he wanted to make a story about a talking shoe with a name that could rhyme. After settling on the name that rhymes with shoe he went through all of the letters of the alphabet he had finally figured out a good name, Boo the Shoe.
