Meet the Creators

Becky Ances founded the Moo-Cow Fan Club at Emerson college where she started a newsletter based on her favorite stuffed animal. After school she traveled the world with her husband, Ryan Wilson, and met many new Moo-Cow Fan Club characters along the way. They have grown the Moo-Cow Fan Club into an award-winning magazine, a book series and a website. Becky is the primary writer for all things Moo-Cow Fan Club and is currently working on more books for the Oraculous Tales chapter book series. She and Ryan have been creating Moo-Cow Fan Club publications of one kind or another for over a decade now, and she can’t imagine a time in their future when they won’t be.

Ryan Wilson was the first subscriber to a zine called the Moo-Cow Fan Club newsletter that a cute girl at his college had started. He’s now married to that cute girl and is the art director and head illustrator for all things Moo-Cow Fan Club. He’s also added book designer to his resume with the creation of the Oraculous Tales series. Ryan has produced hundreds of illustrations for the Moo-Cow Fan Club magazine, moocowfanclub.com, and now for the MCFC books. He claims to be just getting started, and he hopes soon he’ll have made thousands of drawings of Moo-Cow and his friends.

Ryan and Becky currently write and illustrate while teaching English at a university in the Zhejiang province of China. When they are stateside they live in a yurt in woods of Peterborough, New Hampshire, with their cat Pua, right down the road from Keby’s family farm.
