About the Author

Stephanie Ireys

Stephanie Comella received her BA in Communications and Theatre in 1999 from Fort Lewis College, Durango, Colorado. She grew up in Castle Rock, Colorado where she was continuously involved in community theatre. College took her from the Rocky Mountains to the San Juan Valley where she lived for five years with her yellow lab, Aspen. Today, Aspen and Miss Comella reside in Southern California where they enjoy the sunny weather and taking walks on the beach. Inspired by the beautiful ocean sunsets, Miss Comella began writing children's stories. She currently works out of her home as a freelance author and editor. Aspen sits near by, leash in mouth, hoping for writer's block.

Liliane Grenier

Liliane Grenier, a 23-year-old French-Canadian, is a self-taught artist who began drawing even before she could talk. She constantly works to improve her art by reading any art-related material she can get her hands on, and by voraciously studying the many masterpieces of her heroes of illustration, Alan Lee and J. W. Waterhouse. The work of these two artists serves as some of her greatest visual inspiration. Liliane's second passion in life is children, and she currently works as a daycare educator. She has completed various illustration projects, most of them child and teen oriented, but the majority of her work consists of medieval and Celtic-themed paintings, often inspired by imaginative stories such as "The Lord of the Rings," "Harry Potter," and the myth of King Arthur. Miss Grenier hopes to continue to increase her work as an illustrator in the years to come. A large body of her art can be viewed at the following online gallery: http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/art/l/i/liliane/liliane.html
