Nan Parson Rossiter is a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design and the author-illustrator of several books for children, including Rugby & Rosie, winner of Nebraska's Golden Sower Award, The Way Home, and Sugar on Snow. Nan's newest children's book, The Fo'c'sle, Henry Beston's Outermost House, will be published in May, 2012.

She hopes that readers who enjoyed Gin & Chowder (or those who haven't discovered it yet!) will look for the same characters in the Christmas anthology, Making Spirits Bright. Nan's new novel, Words Get in the Way, a tender story about a single mom whose young son has autism, was just released on April 1, 2012.

Nan lives in rural Connecticut with her husband, two handsome sons, and a big yellow Lab named Mulligan.
