DARIANNE SCHRAMM grew up in Gainesville, Florida, listening to the sounds of the woods and the music of Tom Petty. When she's not writing stories about grief, love, and characters who are slightly nihilistic, you can find her eating the darkest possible chocolate and playing overly aggressive games of Scrabble. She is currently getting her PhD in New Zealand, where she lives with her husband, daughter, and goldendoodle. 72 Hours of You is her debut novel.
