Charissa Stastny

CHARISSA STASTNY is an avid reader and happy writer who believes life is too short for bad books, wasps, and a lack of good chocolate. A self-described food connoisseur, her perfect meal involves sushi and chocolate (but not together). Though born and raised in glitzy Las Vegas, she’s a card-shuffling failure and has never played a slot machine. After a decade in Idaho (eating her weight in potatoes), she now calls Salem, Utah home (hooray for fry sauce!). She's written ten romance books, as well as created the Tumbleberry Tales series for young children (which includes seven books in the African Safari set and six books in the Down Under Mates set).
