About the author

Juliann Vatalaro

<p>I was born in Brooklyn, New York and grew up on Long Island. Growing up reading was never one of my favorite things to do. I would rather have been on a basketball court or softball field. The first book I ever read cover to cover was &ldquo;The Outsiders&rdquo;. It was given to me by my senior year English teacher after she realized I never read any of the other books she assigned. That book change my whole outlook on the joys of reading.</p><p>Currently I live in Richmond, Virginia and work as a design engineer. When I&rsquo;m not reading or writing I enjoy a good poker game and watching the NY Yankees.</p>
