Ursula Vernon lives in North Carolina where she gardens for wildlife with her cats, her boyfriend, and a beagle, and is still astonished when anything comes back at all in the spring. She is also part of the team at Native Plants and Wildlife Gardens.
Ursula is a freelance writer, artist and illustrator. She is best known for the Hugo-award winning webcomic Digger and the children's books Dragonbreath and Nurk: The Strange, Surprising Adventures of a (Somewhat) Brave Shrew. Ursula is also the creator of the Biting Pear of Salamanca, a work which became an internet meme in the form of the "LOL WUT" pear. She was nominated for the 2006 Eisner Award in the category Talent Deserving of Wider Recognition for her work on Digger.
