Alda is a senior in High School in New York. She has completed five fantasy manuscripts and is currently working on a sixth novel, on top of homework and the SAT’s. Being a big nerd (and proud of it), she participates in just about every academic team there is. Aside from writing books that are too long for their own good, Alda enjoys reading, surfing the Internet even though she has other things to do and archery, which she isn’t very good at but will keep at anyway. |
