Villa, Bella: - Bella Villa is an author, grandmother, and retired technician and Realtor. She helped care for her two grandchildren, Lenny and Margot, when they were young. Those happy memories inspired her to write her first book. She wanted to preserve, in the minds of her grandchildren, the life experiences that gave her so much fun, joy, and happiness. When she isn't writing, Bella reads self-development and romance books, dances, and swims. She also loves to sit on a rock or log at the beach, sipping black coffee from a warm tumbler. Bella lives in her own apartment in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada.
