Kat Uno was born and raised in Hawaii, on the island of Maui. She was influenced at an early age by comics (especially Garfield and Calvin and Hobbes), Saturday morning cartoons, and Japanese manga. A graduate of the University of Hawaii, Kat works primarily in digital media and loves creating cute, fun illustrations. She is the mother of two kids who are a constant source of inspiration for her. Thomas Kingsley Troupe is the author of a big ol' pile of books for kids. He's written about everything from ghosts to Bigfoot to 3rd grade werewolves. He even wrote a book about dirt. When he's not writing or reading, he investigates the strange and spooky as part of the Twin Cities Paranormal Society. Thomas lives in Woodbury, Minnesota with his two sons.
