Becca De La Rosa attends school by day like an ordinary adolescent, but when she comes home she becomes an Author and writes for so long that her mother has to remind her to do her homework. She has loved fantasy since she was little, and when she has nothing else to do she can be found staring into space, imagining things. She was awarded Highly Commended in the prestigious Pushkin Writing Competition for one of her short stories in the summer of 2000.
