Who is Fantastical Fred? Frederic Artemis Dylan (Fred) is a rambunctious, curious, slightly sneaky afghan hound with a knack for getting into trouble. Fred is eager to explore the world and learn as much as possible. Some people might think he is slightly goofy, wide-eyed and innocent, but also capable of concocting elaborate plans and schemes. Those schemes often go awry leaving readers laughing as they journey along with Fred. Al, Fred's best friend, is an intelligent little owl who is systematic and a big fan of the scientific method. He believes problems can be solved analytically and one should ponder before making a decision, which is a great complement to Fred's headlong rush into life. What is the Story About?

He uses these 3 laws to grow from being the runt of the litter to a big dog with a world famous smile...until one day he loses that very smile.

Sue Shafer (author) is an award winning scholarly writer. She was inspired to create Fantastical Fred because the original Frederic Artemis Dylan was her nephew. Fred was smart, a diva, a clown, and yes a little sneaky. Fantastical Fred was born out of true life stories, some of which still make Sue and her sister Rae laugh till they cry. Sue loves doing research and is a voracious learner,she loves animals, salsa dancing, and the Ottawa Senators hockey team. Sue lives with her husband, Ron, in Albany, New York. Travis Wisely (illustrator) is a graphic artist, illustrator, and visual marketing professional with a passion for colorful, eye-catching design. His inspiration for the Fantastical Fred book illustrations came from real photographs of Fred the Dog as well as the antics of his own dogs, Harper and Truman. Travis loves Cardinals baseball, science fiction novels, camping, and Academy Award winning films, and much of his art reflects his love of vintage film posters, historic buildings, big city architecture, or long hikes in the Smoky Mountains. Travis lives with his wife, Jillian, in Memphis, Tennessee.
