Stacey Trombley Stacey Trombley lives in Ohio with her husband and the sweetest Rottweiler you'll ever meet. She thinks people are fascinating and any chance she has, she's off doing or learning something new. She went on her first mission trip to Haiti at age twelve and is still dying to go back. Her "places to travel" list is almost as long as her "books to read" list.
She wants to bring something new to the world through her writing, but just giving a little piece of herself is more than enough.
Keep a look out for her debut novel NAKED, coming from Entangled Teen in July 2015.

Laura Zats graduated from Grinnell
College with degrees in English and anthropology. While completing her studies,
she took advantage of her love of Young Adult (YA) literature and wrote a
thesis on identity formation in YA. She’s been working as an editor since 2011
and has held positions at companies in both the US and the UK. In 2013, Laura
joined Team Red Sofa as an intern but quickly became more of an apprentice,
leveling up to Associate Agent in the same year.
Even though she loved YA books first,
titles that are Middle Grade, romance, and Sci-Fi/Fantasy have been slowly
taking hold. Picking a favorite genre now would be like choosing between
puppies and kittens. In her free time, Laura likes to craft, swing dance, bake,
and binge on Netflix marathons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Doctor Who.
