Normy Thijs is a professional daydreamer and doodler who fell in love with the natural magic of God’s untamed wildernesses from a childhood of educational and exploratory forays into the forests of the Pacific Northwest. Such ventures fed her imagination to the point of spilling out in only slightly exaggerated tales of the beasts she encountered. She collects dictionaries, daggers, and swords, because while the pen is mightier than the sword, sometimes you just need a sword. When she’s not transcribing the worlds in her head, she can be found in the top of a tree searching the sky for dragons.

Normy writes stories that entertain with clean, fun adventures without losing depth and struggle. Her oddball characters grow and progress—and make mistakes, while still ultimately offering good role models. She crafts immersive worlds you wouldn’t mind returning to, filled with creatures you want as your own companions.
