ANNA HUMPHREY has worked in marketing for a poetry organization, in communications for the Girl Guides of Canada, as an editor for a webzine, as an intern at a decorating magazine and for the government. None of those was quite right, so she started her own freelance writing and editing business on top of writing for kids and teens. She lives in a big, old brick house in Kitchener, Ontario, with her husband and two kids and no bats. Yet.

KRIS EASLER is a freelance illustrator who currently lives in Minneapolis with her husband, two cats and a loaf that masquerades as a dog. She holds a B.F.A. in Studio Art from Concordia University in Nebraska and a Master's in Illustration from Savannah College of Art and Design. Kris spends her free time reading, drinking tea and playing the ukulele, though usually not at the same time.
