Wright grew up in Waterford, Michigan, until his family moved to Grayling after his 4th Grade year of school. He lived for a short time in Houghton Lake before moving to Petoskey for six years, then to a little cabin in the woods outside of Cheboygan before moving to Topinabee (about 25 miles directly south of the Mackinac Bridge) with his wife and two dogs named "Scooby-Boo" and "Lily Munster".

In 2007, Wright became involved in exposing a case of animal cruelty, and documented the case on a website "Thor's Warriors".

[edit] Publication

Wright has opted to self-publish, with he and his wife originally driving to gas stations, restaurants, gift shops, and hotels to sell the books. In 2003, the author stated that they had sold over one million copies of the books.

Wright uses two pseudonyms when writing - Johnathan Rand for the children's books, and Christopher Knight for the books aimed at young adults.

When asked out of the books he had written what his favorite one was, Wright said it was "Dinosaurs Destroy Detroit", but that he liked each one in a unique way.
