About the authors
Stories and music have been important in Alison Lohans's life since early childhood. With parents who loved telling stories and singing at bedtime, and always a stash of library books on hand, how could Alison not be drawn in?
The Wind and Amanda's Cello is Alison's thirty-first book, and came from a whimsical "What if?" idea. Her publications range from picture books and early-reader chapter books to novels for middle-graders and young adults. She has won awards for her work and has given more than a thousand readings in schools and libraries across Canada. Alison has taught writing, and she's taught music as well.Starting piano at age five, she could read simple music before she could read words.
When Alison's younger son, Chris, started cello lessons, she got hooked, too! She's active in local music groups, playing recorder, cornet and cello, singing in her church choir, and once again taking piano lessons. She also loves to travel.
Alison Lohans lives in Regina, Saskatchewan with her furry friends Sebastian and Sassy and two budgies. Visit Alison online at alisonlohans.wordpress.com or on Facebook @alisonlohanswriter.
Gretchen Ehrsam is a lifelong artist, printmaker and calligrapher who is always experimenting with new media in her quest to keep learning more. She illustrated Leaving Mr. Humphries (YNWP, 2013) and The 1-Dogpower Garden Team (YNWP, 2021), both by Alison Lohans, and is the cover illustrator for poetry books by Mark Newman. Gretchen teaches at the “Letters of Joy” calligraphy conference, and art classes for adults at Eureka Sally's gallery. Alison Lohans and Gretchen Ehrsam are cousins.
