Hannah Balagna found her calling as a writer in the 3rd grade when she checked out an R.L. Stine book from a bookmobile and felt inspired to write her own. She recently completed her debut novel, DREAMREAD, a contemporary fantasy about a librarian who embarks on a treasure hunt through fantastical book worlds to secure an inheritance from her grandmother. Hannah’s favorite pastime is being alone in crowded places, i.e. libraries, coffee shops, wintry city streets, etc. She lives with her family in Naperville, IL.
