M B ParadiseM.B. Paradise has always been a fan of stories, Santa, and the beach so combining the three made perfect sense. She got her undergraduate degree at Rutgers University and a Master's in Education at the University of Virginia. In high school, she stared a painting business and later went on to become an athletic trainer and a college instructor. She has climbed in the Rockies, barely survived two NYC marathons, and currently lives in New Jersey with her husband and three daughters. She likes chocolate, treehouses, comfy pajamas, and all kinds of fun stories. Beach Santa is her first children's book. Fun Fact: She also worked sporadically for 20th Century Fox to promote movies. During one stint, she had to dress up in a Post-It costume and walk around New York City to promote the premiere of the cult classic Office Space. Read More Read Less
