Nathalie Gagné is a talented young Québec artist.  She was only twelve years old when she created the drawings for CATNIP and KEROSENE GRASS, yet she had already won prizes for some of her other work.  We commissioned her again for the drawings in Miracles & Mustard Seeds.  Nathalie is now all grown up and lives near Montreal.     The Gopher . . .

Dan and his wife now run their own consulting company, P&M Technologies, where Dan has turned his talents to developing web sites and publishing books.  He did the image processing and the layout & design work for CATNIP and KEROSENE GRASS, Miracles & Mustard Seeds, and The Northern Wildflowers Collection of stained glass patterns on CD.  He did the same – and took many of the photographs – for The Canadian NTFP Business Companion DVD.
