Thea Toocheck
I'm Thea Toocheck, and I love to read and write. When my seventh grade literacy teacher told me about NaNoWriMo 2011, I seized the chance to write a book and publish it. It sounded like fun! I write for fun with my friends, and The Thirst Inside was my first completed book, which I wrote at thirteen. When I'm not writing, I'm reading or doing something that involves music (such as dancing, singing, acting or playing the guitar).
I live with my parents Tara and Dan, brother Nikolas, and dog Cosmo in Pennsylvania. My parents are awesome! My brother Nikolas is funny and loves to run (don't ask me why). And Cosmo is the sweetest, best Sheltie to ever inhabit the earth! I love him!
And I have the best friends ever! Ide's amazing friends are based on my own. They support me in everything I do, and the friends who have characters based on them edit my stories. I couldn't write without them.

Things I like
My FriendsMY FRIENDS ARE THE BEST PEOPLE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. In this picture is my editing crew (from left to right): Uma, Karen, and Julia. My friend Valentine, another valuable member of the crew, is not pictured. They are amazing friends and editors. I am so thankful that I can share my stories with them, freak out about plot issues, and just call them my friends in general!
Harry PotterThese are some of my favorite books! J.K. Rowling is one of my inspirations.
NaNoWriMoNaNoWriMo (or National Novel Writing Month) takes place every November, and I have participated in it most years since 2011, when I wrote The Thirst Inside. The goal is to write 50,000 words in a month, but I started with the Young Writer's Program, where I could set my own word count goal. In addition to TTI, I've also written a story called Lights and What Remains of White Sands was my NaNo story for two years in a row.

CosmoMy sweet Sheltie puppy! I love him so! He inspired the Noaptes' dog, Chester. Visit the website Nikolas and I made for him!
My brother, NikolasNikolas is awesome. He is very energetic, funny, and crazy. He likes to run—he's Running the World for Children. Check it out! I manage the website and write the blog.
The All Souls TrilogyThe All Souls Trilogy, by Deborah Harkness, are some of my favorite books! They are amazing. When I picked up the first one, just around the time I published Night Crawlers, I noted certain similarities to The Thirst Inside … I've also gotten to meet Mrs. Harkness, who is one of my idols!
