LAUREN RICO has earned a reputation as one of the top Classical music broadcasters in the country—introducing listeners to the stories of the great composers. But there came the point when she wanted to start writing some stories of her own, and in less than a decade, she’s turned a hobby into several award-winning books. Lauren loves to write relatable characters and compelling storylines that will keep readers up all night turning pages. When she’s not talking on the radio or tethered to her laptop, Lauren enjoys a quiet but crazy life in a lovely but messy home on Long Island with her husband and rescue pup.
