The Charmingly Clever Cousin (7 page)

S
uzanne Williams often dreamed of being a princess, but she relinquished all hopes of glitz and glory to pursue the adventure of a lifetime—writing children's books. Besides the Princess Power series, she is the author of two chapter-book series and several picture books. Her fans know that while Suzanne might not wear a tiara, she definitely rules. Suzanne currently resides in regal Renton, Washington, where she and her husband share their reign with a toy fox terrier. When she's not penning princess stories, she enjoys puttering around her palace, going for walks in the countryside, and losing herself in good books. You can visit her online at www.suzanne-williams.com.

C
huck Gonzales doesn't know any princesses personally (other than his sister), but he thinks wearing a crown and not having to spend his own money can't be all
that
bad. His noble artwork has appeared in such diverse publications as the
New York Times, Weekly Reader, Tiger Beat,
and
Cosmopolitan.
Chuck Gonzales dwells in the majestic kingdom of New York, New York. You can visit him online at www.chuckgonzales.com.
