Author Notes:	Carmella Van Vleet is a former kindergarten teacher and the author of eight hands-on science and history books for children. Eliza Bing Is (NOT) a Big Fat Quitter is her first novel. It was inspired by her daughter, who, like Eliza, has ADHD and discovered a new passion when she took up martial arts. Despite being a fan of cake decorating shows, the only thing Carmella knows about cakes is that they taste delicious! But as a third-degree black belt in taekwondo, she knows all about bowing, learning Korean, wearing scratchy doboks, and taking belt tests. She lives in Ohio with her husband and has three kids, one normal dog, and a dog who thinks he's a cat. You can visit her online at www.carmellavanvleet.com.
