Shana Gorian is the author of the Rosco the Rascal series, chapter books in which a sometimes rascally German shepherd uses his true heroic nature to help his pals, James and Mandy, find adventure and overcome obstacles.

Originally from Western Pennsylvania, Shana lives in Southern California with her husband and two children, and their German shepherd, the real Rosco the Rascal. Shana attended the University of Pittsburgh, earning her Bachelor of Arts in English Writing in 1994. After migrating to the West Coast, Shana trained as a graphic designer and worked in web site design for nearly a decade. She later left the workforce to raise her children full time. Ten years into motherhood, she published her first children's book, and went on to develop the series. Shana is an avid lover of the great outdoors and weekend fun with her family. She is always searching for more stories!
