Among her favorite topics are grizzly bears, sea turtles, carnivorous crickets, and geysers that spout once a century. Erin lives with her husband, daughter, and yellow lab, Luna, in the leafy hills of Cincinnati, Ohio. Victor Rivas was born and raised in Vigo, Spain, and now lives outside of Barcelona. He has been a freelance illustrator for thirty years, illustrating children's and teen books, as well as magazines, posters, covers, advertising, concept art for multimedia games and animation, and comics.
