​​Marie Lagos writes books for young adults - and for adults like her, who wonder if they'll ever feel like a grown up.
​​​​​ ​​
When she's not ​making up stories, she's an attorney for a multi-national company, a mom to two, a wife to one, and an unpaid chauffer, cook, and laundress to many. ​​
​
​Obscure facts that make her kids' eyes roll:
​​​​
-
Her pen name, Lagos, blends her maiden and married names.
-
She's a native San Diegan, and somehow still lives there. She's also lived in Mexico, Spain, and New York.
-
During her childhood summers, she lived with her grandparents where she learned to make tortillas y frijoles. Unfortunately, she still sucks at making them.
-
If her kids didn't enjoy eating food every day, she'd quit her day job to write full time.
