About the Author

Jacqueline Halsey lives with her husband, Ray, and rescue cat, Piper, in a ninety-year-old house overlooking Halifax Harbour. After a long, fun career in the children's department of Halifax Public Libraries, she now spends her time renovating the old house, writing, hiking, and enjoying the local beaches. In the summer she is an interpretive guide on historic McNabs Island and takes part in the annual beach clean-ups. Carrie Muller lives in Dartmouth, NS where she's settling into retired life with her husband Doug. After a long, varied career with Halifax Public Libraries she's now enjoying more time spent with family, boating, sea glass hunting and walking the many local lake trails and beaches. Reading, journaling, and planning the next Big Travel Adventure keep her occupied most days. Carrie is co-author of the popular Terrible, Horrible, Smelly Pirate and is excited to be collaborating again with Jacqueline on Pirate's continuing adventures. Paul G. Hammond is a Canadian artist and illustrator in Halifax, Nova Scotia. He likes bold, flat colours, and loose, wonky lines. He thinks mistakes are nice, and likes to leave them in when he's allowed.
