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, created the Megabat, Bee and Flea and Clara Humble series and wrote many other books for kids and teens. She lives in a big, old brick house in Kitchener, Ontario, with her husband and two kids and no bunnies. Yet. IRMA KNIIVILA is an artist and writer. Most days she's working on comics or illustrations, sneaking in an animal any chance she gets. She has done illustrations for DC Comics, Marvel Comics, Reader's Digest , Paper Bag Records, Virgin Mobile and others. She also created the books Year of the Dog and The Crosswind Café .

Irma lives in San Miguel, Mexico, with her partner, two cats and a dog.
