Ursula Vernon
Ursula Vernon has written and illustrated Dragonbreath and one other middle-grade novel: Nurk: The Strange, Surprising Adventures of a (Somewhat) Brave Shrew (an Oprah’s Book Club Kids Reading List selection) as well as the Digger series of graphic novels for adults. The daughter of an artist, she attempted to rebel and become a scientist, but in the end couldn’t fight her destiny. She lives in Raleigh, North Carolina, where she writes, draws, and in her words, “creates weird thingies.”
