Meet Apolonia Newman ✍️

Hi, I'm Apolonia — a Texas girl with big stories! 🤠

Cow and Crane was born from my love of friendship, adventure, and the magic that happens when two very different personalities find common ground. Growing up in Texas, I always loved a good ranch story — and I wanted to create characters that kids would fall in love with and carry with them long after the last page.

I'm passionate about putting books in the hands of every child, especially in communities that don't always see themselves in the stories they read. Because representation matters, and every kid deserves their main character moment.

When I'm not writing, I'm building — Seeds of Security, my insurance practice, is my other passion: helping Texas families build generational wealth and protect what matters most. I'm a girl with a lot of big dreams and a whole lot of heart. Welcome to the ranch! 🐄🦢
