Turnover, a Novel-WIP.

I can't recall a time when I wasn't writing—in journals, notebooks, on napkins—or, failing that, reading. Growing up as the seventh of eight kids (and one of only two girls) in the Western Suburbs of Chicago, I was never short on inspiration (or trauma) from which to draw.
My family, led by two creative public school teacher parents, celebrated the arts, music, sports, and all things performative. My compulsion to write and read offered the quiet solitude and excuse to observe when I needed it... which it still does today.
After earning degrees in English Writing and Education from Saint Mary's College of Notre Dame, Mandy Schomas earned her Masters in Creative Writing with Distinction at DePaul University in Chicago while working as a Writing Center director. Her studies were complemented by a short stint at the National University of Ireland at Galway where she studied under (and with!!!) celebrated Irish poets, novelists and memoirists.
Most recently, Mandy has worked in Public Relations & Marketing for high-end brands and non profits including hospitality, educational, and non-profit-public health platforms.
Regardless of the genre, her passions remain: women's health, mental and public health, literacy, and the importance of family.
Mandy is lucky enough to live in the Northern suburbs of Chicago with her partner, three children, a dog named Mulligan, a recently adopted cat named Bougie Marie, and a frog who at the time of publication has recently escaped his quarters for adventures unknown.
Fare thee well, Taddy. Fare thee well!
