About the Author

Sarah Janco is a mom of three and wife, born and raised in Texas. While growing up in the modeling industry, she realized she wanted a future in literature. Sarah always loved writing and creating adventure, but found a calling when she was able to write stories for her children’s imaginations. After finding so much joy and love in books herself, she decided to create stories to pass on to others who yearned for meaning, adventure and value that sometimes is only found in books. 

Midwestern resident Blayne Fox grew up romping through the Missouri woodlands, letting her imagination take flight to create magical kingdoms and creatures wherever she went. Predominantly self-taught, Blayne knew what she was going to be from a very young age: an artist. After attending art college, she plunged into her industry, working for clients such as Discovery Channel and National Geographic Kids within her first year out of school. She is now represented by Deborah Wolfe LTD and primarily focuses on illustrating children’s books and graphic novels.
