About the Authors
Jennifer Moss and Kellie Flanagan were both city girls before they each ditched the urban sprawl and moved to the mountains at different points in time. They met at a local authors’ fair and became fast friends. The idea of Yosemite Home Companion manifested as they were lunching and talking about all the differences between living in the city and the mountains, and all they had to learn after they relocated to the Yosemite Mountain Area.
