Will Pass was born in South Africa, grew up in England and Kansas, and now lives in Colorado with his wife, son, two cats, and very good dog.

​

Before writing fiction, he worked as a landscaper, garbage man, janitor, third-party logistics operator (?), climbing bum (!), and veterinarian in Las Vegas.

​

His first novel, The Second-Smartest Dog That Ever Lived, is a genre-bending comedy about captivity, intelligence, and the wild contradictions of domesticated life. He is published by Thiessen Press.

​

Will also hosts the Book Jacket Bracket, the world's first book cover tournament.
