Having grown up loving books, Margaret Harrison decided she should try to make her way in the world by creating what she loves most. When she's not reading the next soon-to-be pop sensation or making new discoveries in the YA section, she's at a farm working with horses, creating the next great playlist to describe her life, or dying her hair the next unnatural color! She loves sleep more than she could any boy (other than the fictional/famous ones). She loves Sherlock, Supernatural, Buffy, and Disney. She's the winner of the world's pickiest eater award 16 years running!
