Manda Mazanec is a United States Marine Corps veteran, teacher, and author living in the great Midwest state of Illinois. She spends her days doing what she loves most—teaching—and her nights dreaming up stories fueled almost entirely by coffee.
She’s the proud mom of two adult daughters and one younger daughter who occasionally forgets she has sisters and fully embraces the “only child” lifestyle. When she’s not writing, Manda enjoys reading, running, and traveling—though her growing fear of flying means she’d happily drive just about anywhere instead.
She shares her home with her husband, two of her daughters, two dogs, two cats, and what some might consider a slightly unreasonable coffee habit.
