ABOUT THE AUTHOR

​ ​Monica Nawrocki is an author and teacher living on Cortes Island, BC (where Full Moon Lagoon takes place). She is a substitute teacher at the Cortes Island School (but the fun kind). She loves to walk in the forest, or on the beach. She loves to read, and of course, she loves to make stories. In the summertime, she swims around Turtle Island in Hague Lake almost every day. 
​

​Her dog, Jed, loves to swim as well. He swims in the lake, at Manson's Lagoon, and at other beaches on the island.  Here is Jed taking a dip in the lagoon (the same spot where the kids went lagoon-diving in the the book Full Moon Lagoon.)​

​
Jed is a pretty interesting dog. (His full name is Jedediah Wiggle-Bottom Happy-Feet Puddle-Jumper Jonassen.)
