Last but not least, thank you reader! Thanks for going on this crazy adventure with me, letting me pull at your heart strings, and blow up so much stuff. You’ve given me the greatest job in the world!
In second grade, BECKY WALLACE had to sit in the corner because she refused to write anything besides princess stories and fairy tales (and because she talked too much). Her time in isolation gave her plenty of opportunities to dream up the fantasy worlds she’s been dabbling with ever since. She was lucky enough to find her own real-life Prince Charming. They have four munchkins and live in a happy little village in Texas. She is the author of The Storyspinner and its sequel, The Skylighter.
