Bella Hachey has always been fond of writing. As a young woman, she would constantly write short stories as an outlet to get away from reality, even for just a couple of hours a day. Her teenage experiences with mental health, bullying, and seizures left her feeling incredibly alone, and unsure if anyone else had ever experienced the same. She chose to write this novel to tell a story and show other teenagers that they are not alone, and they are not crazy for what they’re going through.

Hachey lives in Langley, B.C., in a townhouse with her family, her two dogs Rocko and Vader, and a cat named Jewel.
