Author Biography

Patricia Hegarty began working in children's publishing more years ago than she cares to remember! As an editor she has worked on titles ranging from atlases to animal pop-ups, craft kits to crazy mazes, and sticker books to secret diaries.

Summer Macon was born in a little bitty town in the wild west of southern New Mexico. She quickly became known as the girl who would doodle on every piece of paper in class and write notes on her homework to her teacher proclaiming her name was now "Tiger" (and yes, would actually sign her papers that way).

She now goes by her real name and lives in an even smaller itty bitty town (population 32) in an even wilder place in southern Colorado.

In the summertime (Summer enjoys the summer and not the winter), you can find her rock climbing, mountain biking, or doodling on her contracts. She lives with her loving husband and two extremely goofy dogs who help her run their cute little 2-acre farm.
