Lainey Reese lives in charming Lake Stevens, Washington, with her husband and daughter. They reside as live-in personal slaves to a dog, three cats, two fish and a bird. The animals let her out to work only because they know the money she earns buys them food and chew toys. The one thing Lainey has always wanted to be is an author, even as a child pretending to be Dorothy wasn't enough, she would pretend that she wrote The Wizard of Oz as well as starred in it.
