Talking on and on about myself, like about how my elementary school teachers must have inspired me to tap into my inner creativity through fingerpainting and math riddles, is mega-weird and boring and will most likely make people start jumping off bridges. So, I wrote 3 different bios, each containing various topics.




Rhonda Stapleton started writing a few years ago to appease the voices in her head. She has a Master's degree in English and a Bachelor's degree in Creative Writing. In the twelve minutes of free time she has each day, Rhonda enjoys reading, photography, writing poetry, singing in the shower (and in the car, at work, or basically anywhere that provides oxygen), drinking chai tea, and playing on the Internet (AKA, connecting to the "mother ship"). Her teen romantic comedy trilogy, Stupid Cupid, is published with Simon Pulse.

Rhonda lives in northeast Ohio with her two kids.




Life is but a dream
where you fear you're pantsless, then
wake up—ugh, it's true.




Rhonda Loves:
—chocolate (OMG I love chocolate so much)
—Chinese and Japanese food (especially General Tso's chicken and sushi)
—tattoos (okay, not ones that look like they were done in prison by a mustached woman)
—reading (my bookshelves are overflowing, and I like it that way!)

Rhonda Hates:
—blue food (there's no blue food in nature, and blueberries don't count—they're purple)
—when the TV and radio is on at the same time (it drives me mad. Mad, I say!)
—watching people eat (especially when their mouths are open—SO GROSS)
—when toilet paper is flipped so it unrolls against the wall (I like "over", not "under")
