Mandy Hicks

Mandy Hicks is a teacher and children's book author who lives in Greenwood, Arkansas. Mandy grew up in a small, rural town in North Central Louisiana before moving to Arkansas, and she's been a math teacher and content specialist for 33 years. Mandy loved writing stories and poetry as a child and as a teenager. Becoming a grandmother spurred her back into writing, and her favorite thing to write about is her heart on legs---- HER FAMILY.

Mandy and her husband, Clayton, live in a hut at the base of mountain in the woods along a curvy road with their dog, Murphy, and a small flock of chickens. That's where Mandy pens the stories of Izzy Lu, Caroline, Baby John, and their family.
