Belle Boyd lives in New England and has been writing for fun since childhood, only recently taking her work to the public level; starting with projects she began in high school and reworking them to completion.Belle keeps the company of a Jellicle cat and a European warhorse. When not writing, she spends time acting onstage, dancing in public, buying secondhand shoes and re-purposing them for fashion shoots, drawing monsters, studying anything and everything, and enjoying the world.
