Olivia Hashem is, by her own account, really swag. She loves to write, or, more often, go on long, unnecessary rants about why she adores the characters that populate her giant home library. Olivia enjoys honing her archery and sparring skills, as well as performance arts. Her favourite book is The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller, but she gives credit to the Percy Jackson series for really getting her into reading in the first place.  She is currently immersed in writing her second novel. Olivia lives in Aurora, Ontario with her family and is often caught romping around the city with her friends or adopting squirrels with her dog.
