About the Author

Alicia Thompson graduated from New College of Florida in 2006 with a degree in psychology and wrote this debut novel in between pulling all-nighters on her senior thesis. Her short stories "Abby Greene for President" and "Stealing Mark Twain" have appeared in "Girls' Life" magazine. She is currently working on an MFA in fiction writing at the University of South Florida (where she still pulls the occasional all-nighter).
