Guest Bio:

MK Pagano writes stories about messy girls, mayhem, and murder. Her debut YA Thriller GIRLS WHO BURN is out now in the US, UK, and more. She is represented by Barbara Poelle of Word One Literary. When she’s not busy pondering the angst of fictional people, she can be found reading (from her own TBR and that of her children), dreaming of restoring an old French chateau, and wandering the weirder parts of New Jersey, where she currently resides with her family.
