dragons, falling in love, and whatever else her "To Be Read" pile has
in store for her. When she’s not reading, hanging out with her family, or
acquiring and editing incredible stories for Swoon Romance, she can usually be
found huddling over a cup of flavored coffee. She lives in a suburb of St.
Louis, Missouri, with her husband, her boxer, and her Nook, but it’s probably
easier to find her on Twitter at @Mandy_Schoen.
