  <about><![CDATA[Monica Mansfield lives in central Massachusetts with her husband, two teen boys, three cats, and dog. She is a veterinarian by day, collecting stories and situations to eventually commit to paper. The most likely characters to make it to print are those whose owners bring dark chocolate on one of their visits. 
&quot;The Black Panties: Tales of Animal Mischief and Veterinary Intrigue&quot; is Monica's first published book, and she will be publishing a children's book within the year.
Other interests are music and musicians, where Monica produces a rock and roll television program highlighting national and regional folk/rock/R&amp;B artists, named Mostly Rock 'N Roll. As well, she currently serves as the PR committee chair for the Massachusetts Veterinary Medical Association. ]]></about>  <influences><![CDATA[James Herriot, Joseph Heller]]></influences>  <gender>female</gender>  <hometown>Norwich, CT</hometown>
