Tess Rixen

Tess Rixen is a fourteen-year-old author who devotes most of her time to writing, and not nearly enough time to piano playing. She lives in North Carolina with her parents, an older brother and even older dog. The inspiration for Slipper books comes from a list of rules she made in late 2009, when she was around 7 or 8. She just moved from Georgia to Connecticut with her family, and a list of rules was her way of inserting some order in a bit scary, unknown and new environment. Even though… she wasn’t very good at spelling at the time, Tess had lots of fun writing the ‘rules’. She follows them to this day! http://www.slipperandfriends.com
