Bowker Biography:
Bernd & Susan Richter

Like so many authors and illustrators, we had to leave behind “real jobs” before realizing our dreams of turning hobbies into a profession. Originally from Texas, where we earned a living in the fields of hydrogeology and physical therapy, respectfully, we settled in Interior Alaska eight years ago, after some vagabond-type traveling on North America’s back roads. Living now in a remote and tiny community nestled in the Alaska Range and dominated by views of Mt. McKinley, we finally have found the leisure and inspiration for book writing and illustrating. On the way we’ve also found the sales success that allows us to continue full-time production of new titles. Our goal of teaching about Alaska’s history, geography, and wildlife, is now reflected in 15 colorfully illustrated books for children from toddler age to about ten years old.
