Author John Martucci has always enjoyed storytelling, music, and theater. Outside of play acting, he was the everyday creator of adventures for his younger brothers. Now, his love for storytelling, the oceans, and its creatures has culminated into children's book writing. When not writing rhymes and drawing up tales, John is a foot and ankle surgeon practicing in Canton, Georgia. He received an undergraduate degree from Boston College and doctorate from Temple University. He currently lives in Smyrna, GA, with his wife, fellow surgeon, and scuba diving partner, Sam. Illustrator LeeAnn Sanders was inspired to draw and paint after a trip to Greece in 2011. Since that time, she has developed and honed her skills. She also creates surface pattern designs and is a licensed artist. Travel and the ocean continue to be her greatest influences. She lives in Harrisburg, SD and the Florida Keys with her husband and her two chocolate labs.
