Suzanne Nelson is an author and editor who loves Mexican food, especially cheese enchiladas. She is still grateful to her parents for making her take five years of Spanish in school, because now she'll never forget what chapulines are. She is known for her foodie romance middle grade novels, including Cake Pop Crush, Macarons at Midnight, and Hot Cocoa Hearts. She was born in New Jersey, grew up in Southern California, attended college in Texas, and spent eight years as a children's book editor in New York City. She now lives in Ridgefield, Connecticut.
