JoAnn Wagner was born in New York. She moved to Mesquite, TX, a suburb of Dallas, in 1986. After having worked for 25 years at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, JoAnn began an exciting new career - writing children's books! Her hobbies include writing, reading, cruising, yoga, and water aerobics. JoAnn is married, and between her and her husband they have 5 wonderful children and 6 beautiful, rambunctious grandchildren. The Sir Pigglesworth's Adventure Series was born when JoAnn's church gave out a flying pig stress ball for the congregation to take around over the summer and post pictures on Facebook. Everywhere she went people smiled and laughed, and were excited to have their picture taken with Sir Pigglesworth, as she dubbed the pig. The idea blossomed until it became clear that Sir Pigglesworth's adventures needed to be shared with children around the world. JoAnn does book readings at libraries, schools, day care centers and churches. Sara Dean lives in West Virginia, with her husband and her two kids. She spends her days working as a freelance writer, ghostwriter, editor, and author of her own books. She has written everything from children's books to young adult books and a few adult books as well. She has 13 books published under her own name and has ghostwritten over 100 books for other people.
