Growing up in a small New Jersey town (complete with horse farms and cornfields) gave Suzanne Casamento plenty of time to make up stories. She earned her BFA in Creative Writing from Emerson College. Her stories and articles have been published in Seventeen and Teen. Her debut Young Adult novel, Fingerprints, is a companion novel to Choosing Tally. Both are set in a small town during a summer when things suddenly weren't so boring anymore. Suzanne currently lives in Los Angeles.
