Amelia Riedler is a wordsmith and grammar guru living in Seattle, Washington. In addition to a passion for the written word, she has a deep and abiding love of animals. She draws her inspiration from the things she loves: her family, her home, and small dogs in sweaters--including her own small pooch, Barley. Jill Labieniec is an illustrator and designer at Compendium, Inc. She's always busy creating and is often found at her letterpress with inky hands or making anything from cookies to clothes. Originally from a small New England town, Jill now enjoys the island life just outside of Seattle with her husband, their Saint Bernard, and a chubby cat.
