Lori Mortensen drew a lot of pictures when she was little, including a few crumpled "disaster-pieces"! Today, she is the author of many popular children's books, including Cowpoke Clyde and Dirty Dawg illustrated by Michael Allen Austin and If Wendell Had a Walrus illustrated by Matt Phelan.

She lives in Northern California with her family and her cat, Max, who'd much rather nap than draw.
