Daniel Handler Biography:
Daniel Handler (a.k.a. Lemony Snicket) lives in his native San Francisco with his wife, Lisa Brown, a graphic artist he met in college at Wesleyan.
Daniel Handler's alter-ego Lemony Snicket is the author and narrator of A Series of Unfortunate Events, a children's book series (and since 2004 a film based upon the first three books: The Bad Beginning, The Reptile Room, and The Wide Window).
Daniel Handler's adult novels are The Basic Eight, based loosely around Handler's experiences at San Francisco's Lowell High School; Watch Your Mouth, a rather experiemental novel that Handler has described as an "opera in book form;" and Adverbs (2006), a narrative web of a novel in which intersecting stories explore the theme of love.
