James was born in Denver Colorado in 1981 (sheesh that's old) and is a loving father to his son Cru. His mother has been a longtime writer and has written several books. Her love of writing and reading has obviously been passed down. James currently resides in KCMO and uses a bike as his primary means of transportation. Since the day he could walk he's has been on a bike of some sort and loves the freedom it brings and the mental happiness that comes from riding. Chances are if he's not out riding you'll find him sword fighting imaginary dragons or taking down bad guys in the old west with his son. Anna was born in Denver Colorado. She comes from a very creative and artistic family. Having fun with art was how her family raised her. This is the first book she has illustrated, but not the first time her art has been on display. She works with many different types of mediums. One of her favorites is leather painting and tooling. While most of her work is done in a group craft night with friends she has a home studio (kitchen table) to finish the project. She is excited to continue a career in producing art.
