Spencer Mcfield Sheppard
Born on October 4th, 1999, Spencer has always had a passion about nature and magic coming together. Though residing in Manhattan, he didn't let the city's harsh attitude get to him. In fact, it only made him more adventurous and interested to explore New York nature around him. Not just from a scientific point of view but a more spiritual approach.
Joyce Sheppard
Born in January, 1st, 1960, Joyce is Spencer's mother and editor. She always loved to write but couldn't find the inspiration or topic. Like Spencer, she was born in Manhattan, but also spent summers in the country side where she interacted with amazing insects such as caterpillars and butterflies. Together with Spencer, they teamed up to write and edit Spencer's imaginings and created The Butterfly Fairy realm.
