Autorenporträt
Laura Amato is an upstate New York native and a graduate of St. John's University. A freelance sports journalist and first-time author, she's watched more college basketball games than she's willing to admit and has spent a considerable amount of time in the Madison Square Garden press room. She now lives in New York City with her husband, and while she loves nothing more than March Madness, iced caramel lattes, well-cultivated music playlists and the New York Rangers are close behind.
