Growing up in a small New Jersey town (complete with horse farms and cornfields) gave Suzanne Casamento plenty of time to make up stories. She earned her BFA in Creative Writing from Emerson College. Her stories and articles have been published in Seventeen and Teen. FINGERPRINTS, her debut YA novel, is loosely based on a story that appeared in Seventeen. Both stories are a lot like her 16th summer in New Jersey, when suddenly things weren’t so boring anymore. In Casamento's follow up novel, CHOOSING TALLY, the Pleasant Hill girls are back as Tally pursues a love that leaves her humiliated and broken down to the point where she can only climb up. After 25 years in Los Angeles, Suzanne recently got rid of her apartment, car and just about everything else she owned and launched a digital nomad journey.
