Award-winning author Greg Leitich Smith has never seen a UFO, but while growing up spent many family vacations in Cocoa Beach, Florida, where he watched numerous space shuttle and unmanned rocket launches. Originally from Chicago, Greg now lives in Austin, Texas, with his wife, Cynthia, and four cats.
Andrew Arnold is a co-author of the Adventures in Cartooning books. Originally from Houston, Texas, home of the Johnson Space Center, he is sorry to say that he has never encountered any alien life-forms of his own. (That he knows of, at least!) He lives in New York City.
