Mari Mancusi used to wish she could become a vampire back in high school. But she ended up in another blood sucking profession--journalism--instead. Today she works as a television news producer for the NBC station in Boston and has won two Emmys for her work. As if writing and TV producing weren't enough to keep her busy, Mari also enjoys snowboarding, clubbing, shopping, 80s music, and her favorite guilty pleasure--video games. She lives in the Boston area with her husband and two dogs.
