MJ LaCroix drew inspiration for her Nowey series from the many adventures she enjoyed as a child growing up in the woods outside her home in Petersham, Massachusetts. She writes essays, creative nonfiction, and children's stories. Her love of writing and books began with winning a spelling bee in elementary school. The prize, one of the Nancy Drew mystery series, instilled a natural curiosity about mystery and illusion. Still drawn to wild places, LaCroix resides in north central Massachusetts, in a forest.
