M. J. Cosson grew up thinking that she would become an artist. She won scholarships in school to attend classes at the local art museum, and her bachelor's degree is in art. She began working as a graphic artist, then realized that she was a better writer than artist. She lives in Iowa with her dogs, Clancy and Clementine, and her cat, Carrie Chapman Catt. Marci Bales Peschke was born in Indiana, grew up in Florida, and now lives in Texas, where she is a librarian. She has lived in three haunted houses, but now lives with her husband, two children, and a feisty black and white cat named Phoebe. She loves reading and watching movies.
