Missy Hayes is an engineer and writer who lives in the South with her husband and three mostly grown sons (collectively known as the House of Boys / HoB.)

She can geek out in the kitchen, is usually reading four books at the same time, and has a tiiiiiny problem with dragging everyone to Disney World.
