A.M. Pennyfeather
A.M. Pennyfeather is an author, mom, wife, and Montessori teacher living in the United States. Her life revolves around her family, especially her young daughter, but stories about the truest of loves energize her heart. When she’s not making up her own worlds – or enjoying someone else’s – she’s probably spending time with her family, often in the beauty of nature.
Disabled Author: S.E. Thomson
S. E. Thomson (he/him/they) is an autistic, disabled, queer, unapologetically chaotic trans man. Born in the 1980s and held together with caffeine, neoprene, and dark humor, he’s lived in many places, worn many hats, and collected more life experience than strictly recommended. He writes to connect to others and to create the kind of stories he wishes he'd seen growing up: affirming, joyful, and sometimes devastating; always authentic. Believing in radical honesty, gentle rebellion, and the healing power of saying, “Hey, me too,” S. E. is here to speak with just enough snark to try to make it hurt a little less.

A lover of depth and nuance, her stories explore the complexities of the mind and heart. When not immersed in her writing, she finds peace in the company of her cherished rescue dogs. This book is a testament to her deep passion for the written word, the exploration of human nature, and the transformative power of storytelling.
