ⓘ About Bella Forrest
When she is not participating in a writing marathon, Forrest is reading. Reading has long been Bella Forrest’s escape from the real world. As a child, her favorite series was C.S. Lewis’ The Chronicles of Narnia. She enjoys a bowl of pralines and cream ice cream while she indulges herself in a new realm as she turns the pages of a good book. She is inspired by other fantasy authors, such as JK Rowling and C.S. Lewis, and is a self-proclaimed Potterhead. Though she keeps most of her private life a secret, Forrest will use individuals she has encountered and significant events in her life to influence character developments and themes in each of her novels.
