Author Bio:
When she was a child, Bella believed she could control the wind.
One day, when she was about 6 years old, she read The Snow Queen and fell in love with books. She wrote her first “award winning” story in 2nd class (her teacher used her story as a read-ing test. Not sure her peers were very happy…)
After that, she never stopped writing.
Bella graduated in Biology, joined a postgraduate school, and decided to pursue a career in Science, but her passion for the written word never dimmed and she continued to scribble here and there, drafting several novels and short stories in the past years. Although her preferred genre is fantasy, she dips into other genres as the stories "finds her".
