About the Author

Monica De Vargas, in her debut novel, The Typing Room, explored an entirely different approach to the world of Alzheimer's patients and the nearly 16-million family caregivers in the United States whose lives are profoundly affected by this disease. In this novel she writes about the advertising world that she knows so well. Monica has worked for some of the largest ad agencies in Los Angeles as a self-described "Office Mom." After a thirty-year career, she and her husband relocated from Venice Beach to a farm in rural Oklahoma. They now live in Tulsa, with their three canine companions.
