Dana (Gustafson) Regan grew up in the small village of Lake Nebagamon in northern Wisconsin. It was very cold and snowy so she migrated south to St. Louis to get her BFA in Illustration from Washington University. It was very hot so she traveled west to Kansas City and made greeting cards for Hallmark. It was a very big company so she made a small studio in her home to freelance and make children's books. It was just right. She is living happily ever after. But she misses the cold and snow.
Heidi E. Y. Stemple
Heidi didn't want to be a writer when she grew up. In fact, after she graduated from college, she became a probation officer in Florida. It wasn't until she was 28 years old that she gave in and joined the family business, publishing her first short story in a book called Famous Writers and Their Kids Write Spooky Stories. The famous writer was her mom, author Jane Yolen. Since then, she has published 20 books and numerous short stories and poems, mostly for children. Heidi lives and writes in Massachusetts on a big old farm with two houses.
