<strong>M. Jayne LaDow</strong> is a playwright and author who dove into writing romance after thirty-three years of wrangling middle school English students. Her rom-coms are hilariously inspired by her time in the classroom, where she was regularly pied in the face, sang karaoke for reluctant audiences, and dressed up as beloved (and sometimes questionable) literary characters.<br>She lives with her endlessly patient husband, two brilliant and occasionally snarky children, three rescue cats, a tortoise, and a bearded dragon.
