About the Author

Writer and artist Fran Fabiano is a former nursery schoolteacher. After twelve years of working with preschool-aged children, she started her own business, combining her love of teaching with her love of art. She is now the owner of Pixie Art Productions, a company that offers fine art instruction for children, teens, and adults; commission artwork; and unique gifts. Another dream for Fran was, of course, to write for children and teens so that their love of books could begin early on in life as hers did. As a child, Fran was always looking for the magic in the world. She remembers her grandmother saying how she was always searching for fairies in the garden and along the edge of the forest. Her artwork and writings reflect her love of animals, nature, and the magical realm. She is a published poet and also the writer and illustrator of the children’s book Erin, which was published under the name of Frances Catherine Post. She lives in upstate New York with the love of her life and their two cats. Fran hopes to write more adventures for teenagers and young children in the future.
