Jonathan Rogers received his undergraduate degree from Furman University and holds a Ph.D. in seventeenth-century English literature from Vanderbilt University. In addition to the beloved Wilderking Trilogy and its not-so-distant cousin, The Charlatan's Boy, he is the author of The Terrible Speed of Mercy, The World According to Narnia and a pithy biography of Saint Patrick. When he is not writing his own stories, he's shepherding the stories of others as the host of The Habit-a podcast and an online hub for writers at TheHabit.co. Joe Hox was raised on a farm in southern Iowa where he doodled whenever he wasn't spading thistles or feeding pigs. Everyone knew by his crooked hay-rows that he would one day choose art over farming, and they were not wrong. He earned his masters degree in art education, and now he's in the studio full-time living out his childhood dream of being an illustrator. He has illustrated more than twenty-five books, including S. D. Smith's Mooses with Bazookas, and he loves to collaborate with his wife, author Kate Hox, on books that help families deepen their faith in God.
