Samantha M. Clark loves stories about ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances because if four ordinary brothers and sisters can find a magical world at the back of a wardrobe, why can’t she? Until she finds her own real-life Narnia, she writes about other ordinary children and teens who’ve stumbled into a wardrobe of their own. She grew up in different countries around the world and now lives with her husband and two funny dogs in Austin, Texas. Samantha is the regional advisor for the Austin chapter of the Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators and she explores wardrobes every chance she gets.
Jessica Lee Anderson is a former instructor at the Institute of Children's Literature and St. Edward's University and is a current member of The Texas Sweethearts & Scoundrels, a group of authors and illustrators who write for kids and teens. She is the author of Border Crossing, Calli, and Trudy. She lives in Austin, Texas.
