Lucy Szerminski was born in Barrie, Ontario and soon developed a wide variety of interests. The first known thing that she wrote was a note reading, “Lucy dosint wont eny woder.” Her first inspiration to write was the Harry Potter series at seven years old, which she then incessantly reread over and over again in different orders. In her spare time, Lucy enjoys reading, writing, rock climbing, thoroughly searching beaches for shells and rocks, telling people why the company Nike is called Nike, and talking to herself.
