Carolyn Waggoner has been caring for and about animals her entire life. She currently lives in Davis, California, with a sizeable menagerie of rescue creatures—and an indulgent veterinarian husband. Carolyn devotes her days to throwing sticks, scooping litter boxes, preparing meals, and, on rare occasions, even writing.

Raised in the high plains (mining towns) of Wyoming and Montana, Kathryn Williams couldn’t wait to see the world. After serving as a Peace Corps English teacher in Afghanistan, then traveling across India, Turkey, and Greece, she returned to the US, where she began teaching college composition in Northern California, using summers to continue traveling throughout South America, Mexico, Canada, and Europe. Rhino Dreams, set in far-flung Namibia, seemed a perfect locale for her first book. Kathryn lives in Northern California with her husband and their very demanding Sheltie, and is currently finishing a book of short stories set in the least exotic locale imaginable: a down-at-the-heels trailer park in hurricane-prone Florida.
