Lena Jeong wrote her first novel in the fifth grade—complete with a dude in distress, a heroine named Macaroni Pizza, and a dragon that is allergic to men. When she’s not working on novels inspired by her Korean heritage, Lena is doing everything in her power to remain the favorite auntie among her adorable nieces and nephews. You can also find her endlessly experimenting on new ways to make the perfect matcha latte. Lena has an MFA in creative writing. And Break the Pretty Kings was her debut novel.
