Shandy Mandarino is an avid reader, Dr. Pepper addict, and mom. Shandy’s dream of being an author started around the same time she fell in love with reading—when she was a child. She has a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Utah and was born and raised in Utah where she still lives with her husband and son. If she’s not writing or reading you can find her spending time with family, playing games, or baking.
