Caroline Gregory was born in a suburb outside of Los Angeles to begin with. (Humph! So she could hardly help not becoming vile, you see!) As though that wasn’t bad enough, she earned her Bachelor of Arts in English (a wonderful degree…if you enjoy being unemployed!) at Brigham Young University. Yes, Utah! Wretched thing never had a chance. She now resides in Oklahoma with her husband and young children who, for the most part, are blissfully unaware of the extent of her literary transgressions against me! (Believe me, if I were capable of independent thought, I would happily educate them!)

Michael Suorsa (Yes, I spelled that right…thank you Finland!) earned his Bachelor of Science in Illustration at Pasadena Art Center College of Design. (He insists it is prestigious…frankly, I have my doubts. You can see what he’s done to me!) Besides being a graphic designer and artist, he as worked with a slew of other disgustingly creative venues, including Classic Winnie the Pooh, Madeline, Curious George, Classic Mickey, Looney Tunes, Scooby-Doo and Barbie. (I wonder if he’s butchered them, too!) His clients over the years have included Senators, Secretaries of State, and Attorneys General. (They’re your elected officials, not mine! Ha!) He resides with his wife and three children in the glorious state of California. Heaven help him!
