Karla Oceanak
Karla has worked in publishing and marketing for more than twenty years. She is an accomplished editor and has managed all phases of book production, from design and proofreading to printing and distribution. Karla has also ghostwritten more than 20 books, is completing her first middle grade children's novel and is working with illustrator Kendra on a comic novel series. Karla and her husband, Scott, live with their three boys in a house strewn with Legos, hockey gear, Pokemon cards, video games, books, and dirty socks.
Kendra Spanjer
Kendra divides her time between being "a writer who illustrates" and "an illustrator who writes." For Bailiwick Press, she has worked with Teresa to create cover illustrations for the Home-Front Heroes series, and she is currently in cahoots with Karla on a clever, collaborative, alphabetically inspired graphic novel for middle grade readers. When she invents spare time for herself to fill, Kendra enjoys skiing, cycling, exploring, discovering new music, watching trains go by, decorating cupcakes and making faces in the mirror.
