Inscription. Ridley Pearson's initial success came in crime fiction, with series heroes like Detective Lou Boldt or standalone novels such as "The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer," which topped best-seller lists in 2002. After Pearson read "Peter Pan" to his daughter in their St. Louis home, he co-wrote 2004's "Peter and the Starcatchers," a prequel to "Peter Pan" that spawned a best-selling series and a Broadway adaptation that won 5 Tony awards. In 2005 Pearson introduced young fans to "Kingdom Keepers," a Disney-themed adventure series. A writer who never failed to thrill his audience, Ridley Pearson captivated readers of all ages by always focusing on telling a compelling story.
