About the Author

Lauren E. Kelley

Lauren E. Kelley lives in Providence, Rhode Island with her husband. The story of Tuggie The Patriot Pup came to her while walking along the Providence river near where the plan to sink the HMS Gaspee was decided. She hopes Tuggie’s ongoing story book adventures and website, TuggieThePatriotPup.com, will ignite children’s interest in American History.
