Dr James Wright, who operates a busy suburban medical practice, has been writing for young people for some three decades. For many years he regularly appeared on a popular television talk show, but still continues to speak on radio and write medical-advice columns for newspapers and magazines. He and his wife have raised a family of four, so he is well qualified to guide teens through these important formative years.
