Mandy could live anywhere, but will always be a Texan by heart. She is a wife to a wonderful husband and mom to three mischievous boys. She worships books, drinks too much Dr. Pepper, and would eat fajitas everyday. Her family puts up with the day and night writing when she gets into a kick (even when she is lost in the clouds, and they call her name five times), and she loves them all the more for it. She has had stories in her head since she was a kid, and used to fail classes because she would write, lost in her own head, rather than do homework. She loves spending time outdoors with her family, eating her husbands burgers. She spends her time reading, or putting to life the characters taking life in her mind.
