J.N. Willson is a Colorado-born, overly imaginative bibliophile who spent much of her childhood chasing fairies and riding dragons into the sunset. While she could always tell a wild story, she didn’t start writing until elementary school, when her favorite English teacher encouraged J.N. to put her imagination to paper and pen. Once she started, she never really stopped - even when most of her early stories didn’t make much sense.

Throughout childhood, J.N. had the opportunity to travel through different parts of Europe, from the British Isles to the Baltic States (Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia) and St. Petersburg, Russia. During her final summer of undergrad, she spent six weeks studying abroad in Prague (with a holiday weekend spent in Budapest, Hungary).
