Mandy Jo Squires is a multi genre author who believes a good story should take readers somewhere, whether that means falling in love, traveling through time, stepping into another world, or uncovering a mystery.

Her writing spans romance, fantasy, time travel, historical fiction, mystery, paranormal fiction, women’s fiction, and more. Rather than staying within a single genre, Mandy Jo follows the stories and characters that capture her imagination and refuses to make her bookshelf choose sides.

Beyond writing her own books, Mandy Jo is the founder of Creative Slingers of Ink, a community dedicated to connecting writers, authors, and readers while creating resources and opportunities that support authors throughout their journeys.

Originally from Michigan, Mandy Jo now lives in South Carolina with her husband, Rick. When she isn’t writing or working on her latest Creative Slingers of Ink project, she enjoys traveling, photography, genealogy, cooking, discovering new restaurants and food trucks, and watching entirely too many Hallmark movies.

She and Rick especially enjoy exploring new places together, although there’s a pretty good chance their adventures will eventually involve finding somewhere good to eat.
