Casey Rislov was in her early teens when she fell in love with the cowboy life. Her friends took her horseback riding for the first time at the base of Casper Mountain. Riding bareback was both thrilling and terrifying, but she learned that it takes great courage to go after what you want and to be who you want to be. In addition to building a family, one of the best rides of her life was becoming an author. Casey's books have won many prestigious awards over the years. |

When Zak Pullen moved away to begin his career in New York, he never thought he would return to his home state of Wyoming. The state tugged at him and his family, and they have been back under the big blue skies of Wyoming since 2006. He finds inspiration for his art at each bend in every dirt road. His illustrations have garnered starred reviews since first being published in 2004, and he has been honored several times with acceptance into the prestigious Society of Illustrators juried shows and the Communication Arts: Illustration Annual. |
