New York Times bestselling author Bradley Trevor Greive (BTG) wrote The Blue Day Book in 2000 and in now one of the world’s most successful humor authors. His books have sold more than 30 million copies in 29 languages across 115 countries. Born in Tasmania, BTG spent most of his childhood living in the United Kingdom, Hong Kong and Singapore before returning to Australia. After graduating from The Royal Military College, BTG served as a Paratrooper Platoon Commander in the Australian Army before starting his publishing career as a newspaper cartoonist.
An internationally respected wildlife expert and explorer who leads, advises and funds conservation programs around the globe, BTG hosts wildlife programs on Animal Planet and Netflix, and factual series on The History Channel. He conducted six years of field work in Southeast Alaska studying the unique brown bears endemic to the island of Kootznoowoo, where he became a formally adopted member of the Deisheetaan clan of the Native American Tlingit people, and was given the name Yáa Gí Yéil (Raven by the Pond).
BTG completed the Russian cosmonaut training program in 2004, and was the Polynesian rock-lifting champion in 2006. He has so far endured 23 surgeries, countless sutures and 8 treatments for rabies.
In 2014 BTG was awarded the Order of Australia for his services to literature and wildlife conservation, the equivalent of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. A dual American-Australian citizen BTG, with his beloved wife and their two oddly perfect yet refreshingly feral children, currently resides in California, primarily in order to placate his American in-laws.

• Penguin The Magpie/Penguin Bloom (Atria Books)
• The Blue Day Book Illustrated Edition: A Lesson in Cheering Yourself Up (Andrews McMeel Publishing)
