About the Author

Carrie Jones likes Skinny Cow fudgicles and potatoes. She does not know how to spell fudgicles. This has not prevented her from writing books. She lives with her cute family in Maine. She has a large, skinny white dog and a fat cat. Both like fudgicles. Only the cat likes potatoes. This may be a reason for the kitty’s weight paroblem (Shh . . . don’t tell). Carrie has always liked cowboy hats but has never owned one. This is a very wrong thing. She graduated from Vermont College’s MFA program for writing. Along with several column, editorial, sports writing, and photography awards from the Maine Press Association, Carrie has also been awarded the Martin Dibner Fellowship and two Maine Literary Awards—the most recent for her YA debut, Tips on Having a Gay (ex) Boyfriend.
