JP Caruso is from Massachusetts' North Shore, where she lives off of iced coffee year round. With degrees in graphic design and marine biology, she's transitioned from a career in art to a career in science with aspirations of becoming a pathologist. When she's not working, she's playing survival-crafting video games, drawing spicy art, or practicing krav maga and muay thai kickboxing, in which she’s a first degree black belt. An avid writer but first time author, she’s hoping her debut novel, The Menagerie, will turn a hobby into the mythical side hustle that all thirty-something millennials aspire to have.
