Connie Herrick

Connie Herrick (Author): The Ripley and Friendz stories have always been loved by Connie Herrick’s friends and family. Recently retired from 40 years in finance, marketing and integrative medicine, she finally has time to write them. Like all the Ripley and Friendz characters, she loves ice cream, adventures with friends, naps and her illustrator husband Mark.

Mark Herrick (Illustrator): After 40 long years working in high tech and 25 years in K-9 Search and Rescue, Mark Herrick is recently retired from both and finding joy discovering his artistic nature. His love of watercolors, digital art, nature and meditation is the perfect combination for illustrating the Ripley and Friendz books.
