Gina Ruck-Pauquet lives with three cats in a small house on the mountain. She actually wanted to become a lion tamer. First, she practiced with her dog for a while. But the dog had no intention of standing on its hind legs. It was too difficult to become a lion tamer! However, since she still wished for lions to dance and horses to play the trumpet, she became a writer. Writing stories is somewhat like being able to perform magic. Trees take walks, and elephants float around like big balloons. And if you fall asleep soon, she will still be at her desk, coming up with new stories for you.
