BIANCA PENSY ABA was born on May 27, 1993, in Yaoundé, Cameroon. She lived in her native country until she turned eighteen. She graduated from Graceland University in 2017. She was a college athlete who played sports most of her life. Her second love was basketball. Her first was writing. Her debut novel Across Both Sides of the Mirror is a story that she initially imagined when she was in her early teens. After over a decade of finding her way back to her passion for writing, she finally fleshed out the concept to tell Nova's story. She lives in Allen, Texas where she enjoys picnicking, reading, hiking, watching terrible dating shows, sipping a glass of wine on her balcony, and doing whatever else she is in the mood for.
