P.A. Pierucci is the author of the Lola the Puppy books—and yes, Lola is real. She's a bouncy, sweet-natured, curious Cavalier King Charles pup. Before writing about puppy adventures, P.A. was a ghostwriter for politicians and public figures—which means she’s heard everything and still chooses to write fiction. She lives in the valley of the Blue Ridge Mountains with her pup and a very patient husband.
