Tori Malcangio’s mom was a rodeo queen and her dad a national champ gymnast, so she once rode horses and was very flexible. On a boring weekday, she takes her 17-month-old to model homes and they play hide and seek in the all the closets. Running keeps her unflabby and writing keeps her sane. She’s an advertising copywriter and is getting close to finishing her first short story collection, Swallow.
