Autor

Growing up in the beachside town of Naples, Florida, Chloe Gressman developed a deep appreciation for memoirs and poetry, finding comfort and inspiration in the beauty of written words. A talented athlete, she graduated from North Carolina State University, where she served as co-captain of the women's tennis team, before following her passion for healthcare by earning a second degree in nursing from Queen's University of Charlotte. In a bittersweet twist of fate, Chloe found her way into children's literature after the heartbreaking loss of her beloved Yorkie, Harley. Writing became her outlet for grief, and through her stories, she celebrates the joy, love, and lessons that our furry friends bring into our lives. Her debut book captures the magic of friendship, adventure, and the power of perseverance; resonating deeply with children that size is never a measure of strength. Today, Chloe splits her time between Florida and North Carolina with her loving husband and their two spirited children. Inspired by her children's wit and cherished memories of her late dogs, she recalls, "There was never a day where Harley and Macca weren't waiting at the front door to put in the miles. I have witnessed the same resolve in my two children as they relentlessly pursue life, the outdoors, and testing their limits." With a focus on creativity, silliness, and a foundation of enthusiasm, she hopes to continue to craft tales to ignite limitless passion in her readers.
