AUTHOR BIO
13-YEAR-OLD WILLA R. FINNEGAN

has been madly in love with books since she learned how to read. When Willa was four years old, she would dictate short stories to her mother who would write them down on the page. As she got older, Willa dove headfirst into the numerous genres the world has to offer, her interests spanning from fantasy to science fiction and beyond. Willa was so entranced by the wondrous places and characters inside these books that she decided to write some of her own. Around the time she turned ten, Willa began to write a series of short books promptly titled "the Pupsters," in which three lovable canines stumbled into hilarious situations which they somehow managed to get out of. She read these stories to her fourth grade class, and her peers enjoyed them so much that Willa decided to continue to pursue her lifelong dream: becoming a published author. Willa wrote, and wrote, and wrote, inspired by handfuls of different series and their authors to create something special of her own. Eventually, she concocted a melting pot of all of the different fairy tales and classics that she'd enjoyed since she was small. This blend is called Snow: Cursed, and Willa grew attached to the characters before she even started writing the story. It took her a total of around three months to create her masterpiece. Willa, with lots of support from family and friends, decided to get Snow: Cursed published. It came out on October 10, 2024. This is just the beginning of her writing journey. Willa is a young author and has a promising career ahead of her. The sky's the limit.
