Now she lives in Chicago with her husband Adam and her son Aidan. By day she copy edits everything from TV commercials to billboards, and by night she writes contemporary teen novels about brown girls falling in love. When she’s not writing, you can catch her playing the Sims, eating too much candy, or planning her next trip to Disney World. Her debut novel, WHEN THE STARS LEAD TO YOU, is out with Little Brown Books for Young Readers Follow Ronni Davis: Website | Twitter | Instagram Mentions: Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon  We Need Diverse Books  Cambion Chronicles Follow Claribel Ortega online: Twitter | Instagram | Youtube Order GHOST SQUAD Add FRIZZY on Goodreads www.claribelortega.com Follow Kat Cho online: Twitter | Instagram | YouTube | TikTok Order WICKED FOX!
