Nancy Warren Ferrell
"I am a very curious person,"
says author Nancy Warren Ferrell. "So I want to know the
whys and wherefores of the world. I do not believe nonfiction
needs to be dry. The more you delve into a subject, the more
you find the fascinating 'goodies' you can share with your readers."
Award winning author, Nancy Warren Ferrell, writes nonfiction
books for children and adults. She is a long-time resident of
Juneau, Alaska, and has traveled internationally from there.
Besides raising a family (twins,
Patty and Bill), she taught grade school and worked in public
and school libraries. Ferrell was a 1992 U.S. judge for the Golden
Kite Award, reviews new children's books for publishers, and
is a reviewer for SCBWI.

Ed Ferrell
I was born in Missouri during
the depression. When I was five, my mother remarried, and we
eventually moved to Detroit. I never cared for the East. I was
used to the freedom of small southern towns. In 1942, the family
moved to Arizona, and I was in my element. In those days, the
West was relatively undeveloped, and I hunted, fished and prospected.
After high school graduation, I headed north to Alaska, and except
for college in Arizona, and Utah, I have lived in the North country.
For years I was an avid big game hunter and wilderness trekker.
My books reflect my background and interests. My best selling
book is titled, Strange Stories Of Alaska And The Yukon. It was
selected for the "Battle of the Books," in Alaska.
From early newspaper accounts, I have compiled two books, Frontier
Justice and The Dangerous North, and five volumes of Biographies
Of Alaska -Yukon Pioneers. My latest book is a novel for young
readers, Wolf Brother, Survival In The Far North.
I married Nancy Warren, and we have two children, William and
Patricia.
