About ME

Growing up in tropical places, Autumn Fesperman collected shells and experiences. Now as an author and illustrator, she pens stories with themes of shipwrecks, underwater creatures, and beachside adventures. She paints watery, colorful illustrations, adding to the unique ocean vibe of her art. True tales from the hidden side of history flow through her adventures for readers of all ages, while her anthropomorphic characters engage, enlighten, and entertain.
