About the Author

Lara Reznik grew up on Long Island in the fifties and sixties, attending many Yankee games with her father and Uncle Sol during her childhood. At ten years old, she saw Roger Maris hit his sixty-first home run. In the early seventies she escaped to New Mexico push-starting a Kharman Ghia cross-country. As an English major at the University of New Mexico, Lara studied under esteemed authors Rudolfo Anaya and the late Tony Hillerman. She also attended a summer program at the prestigious Iowa Writers Workshop. Ambidextrous from birth, Lara preferred her right-brained creative side, but discovered she could make a better living with her left-brain skills, so entered the I.T. field in 1985. Since the success of her first novel, The Girl From Long Guyland, Lara retired from her day job as an I.T. Manager. Her second novel, The M&M Boys has just been released in paperback. In addition to her novels, Lara has written and optioned three screenplays that have garnered semifinalist and finalist wins in the Austin Heart of Film, Southwest Writers, TV Writer, and Writer's Digest contests. Currently, Lara lives with her husband and two mini Australian Shepherds in Austin, TX, and is busy at work on a new novel.
