About the Author

MAHLENA-RAE JOHNSON grew up on the mean beaches of St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. During her senior year of high school, she was named Most Likely to Kidnap a Backstreet Boy.

After graduating from the School of Film and Television at Loyola Marymount University, Mahlena decided to stay in Los Angeles to crawl up the ranks of the entertainment industry. When she isn’t gorging herself on reruns of Murder, She Wrote, or wondering when Daria is finally coming to DVD, she is working on Hot Penguin Action, the first sequel to Steve the Penguin. She is also writing a spin-off series about Bianca’s 13-year-old multiracial Mormon niece, Sage Dempsey.
