Thea Toocheck is an eighteen-year-old girl who loves to read and write. When her seventh-grade literacy teacher told her about NaNoWriMo in 2011, she seized the chance to write a book and publish it. It sounded like fun! When she’s not writing, she’s reading or hanging out with her friends and family. She’s very proud to have finished her series before she graduated from high school (although she just barely accomplished this). Thea lives with her parents Tara and Dan, brother Nikolas, and Sheltie Cosmo in Pennsylvania, and will be attending Gettysburg College in the fall of 2017.
