Jennifer Dugan is a writer, a geek, and a romantic who writes the kinds of stories she wishes she'd had growing up. Her debut young adult novel, Hot Dog Girl, was called a great, fizzy rom-com by Entertainment Weekly, and Booklist called her second novel, Verona Comics, a smart, compassionate love story to and for teens. The writer/creator of two indie comics, she lives in upstate New York with her family, her dogs, her beloved bearded dragon, and an evil cat that is no doubt planning to take over the world.
