Willa Reece is one of Orbit Publishing’s New Voices of 2021 with her women’s fiction fantasy debut, WILDWOOD WHISPERS. Previously published with Harlequin and Entangled Teen as Barbara J.

Willa lives in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia where stories are often told on a dark side porch by the flicker of firefly light.
