Children’s book author Preston Watson has wanted to be a writer since elementary school.
It wasn’t until he became a father that he found inspiration for stories from his young daughters whose silliness provide endless ideas to put pen to paper. His debut picture book, Mystic Meadow - A Mythical Animal Park, is a richly illustrated rhyming story about magical creatures of all kinds and is the debut installment in a series.
Previously in the tech industry for ten years, when he isn’t making up tall tales, he enjoys reading, swimming with his daughters, or relaxing on the beach with his wife, who has been his biggest supporter throughout his publishing journey. They live in Austin, Texas, with their two daughters and two very large dogs named Potter & Mojo.
