Author Biography

Nancy Rust spent over two decades teaching literature before becoming an author. In 2011, she co-authored her first book with Carol Stubbs, “A Louisiana Christmas: Heritage Recipes and Hometown Celebrations”. Then they moved into writing books for kids, beginning with “What's Watching Me? And Other Animal Stories” and “Andrew Higgins and the Boats That Landed Victory in World War II”. || Carol Stubbs is the co-author of three books with more in progress. Before becoming an author, Carol worked as editor of a local magazine, a freelance writer, and an English teacher. She has a BA in Journalism from Louisiana State University and a MED from University of Louisiana at Lafayette. She is an active member of Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators and leads the monthly critique group for the Acadiana area. She also teaches a writing class for VITA (volunteer instructors teaching adults). ||Melissa Vandiver is a New Orleans-based artist and illustrator specializing in acrylic, gouache, & watercolor. Her artistic mission is simple: to create images that evoke joy in a dark world. Melissa grew up in South Carolina, and has been drawing and painting since she can remember. She studied architecture at Clemson University, combining her math brain with her art brain. After some time, she got sick of drawing toilets, and the art called to her. She is best known for her whimsical themed pet portraits, which are all custom commissioned and designed individually for each pet, and also for the children’s books she’s illustrated (just a few published but more on the way!).
