Sarah Clark Jordan believes children's books should be both funny and heroic.

She thought of the idea for The BossQueen, Little BigBark, and The Sentinel Pup, while moving her sister and her sister's three large dogs (Chris, Layla, and Mina) across the country to a house with a new husband and his two children (and a cat). What began as a story to explain the history and personalities of the three pets to her sister's new family became a novel about change, growing up, growing older, and leadership.

Sarah Clark Jordan's short stories and essays have appeared in numerous publications; this is her first novel, and it is published by Tricycle Press, a children's division of Ten Speed Press, Berkeley, CA.

She lives with her husband, Gary, and their three children in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.  Contrary to popular belief, she has never owned a dog.
