USA Today bestselling author Wallis Kinney's largest sources of joy are science and fairytales. She tries to weave elements of both into every story she writes. She studied Planetary Science and Molecular Biology at the University of Colorado and has a Masters in Economics from Purdue University. Wallis lives in Boulder, Colorado and continually draws from the mountains to feed her creative energy. In her free time, she enjoys playing Dungeon & Dragons, making videos on YouTube that document her writing process, and counting down the days until next October.
