WILLA OF THE WOOD is available for pre-order now at bookstores nationwide or on Amazon at. I'm thrilled to be sharing my passion for the region and its people through the Willa story." "I've enjoyed exploring their rich history and culture, along with their magical forests, coves, and streams. "The Great Smoky Mountains are a beautiful part of the place I call home," Beatty said. Like the SERAFINA SERIES, which takes place at Biltmore Estate, WILLA OF THE WOOD is set in a real place within the vibrant history of the Great Smoky Mountains of western North Carolina and east Tennessee during the arrival of the railroad and timber industry. "Willa is a brand new story with new characters, but Serafina fans will find themselves reunited with some old friends." "I couldn't be more excited to introduce Willa, an enigmatic girl with special powers, who is as brave and determined as she is curious and compassionate," said Beatty.

The two series take place in the same world and time. WILLA OF THE WOOD is the first title in the WILLA SERIES by Beatty, and the follow-up to his wildly popular SERAFINA BOOK SERIES.
