About the Author

I was born in Galicia (Northern Spain) and went to college in Madrid, where I finished my Ph.D. in Biology. For the next ten years, I worked as a researcher both in Madrid and at the University of Davis in northern California.

My writing career started when I came to live in Pennsylvania in the 1990s. Following my first sale, a magazine article on latex allergy, I published four books for Chelsea House (Facts on File): Heroin, Ritalin, Mad Cow Disease, and Lung Cancer.

As a fiction writer, I have published short stories in the literary magazine Errata, winning second prize in the 2004 Bucks County Writers Workshop Summer Contest.

My Young Adult novel Two Moon Princess, (the story of a discontented medieval princess, eager to live life on her own terms, who lands in modern day California) was published in 2007 by Tanglewood Press. It was recognized with the bronze award by the ForeWord Magazine in the Juvenile fiction category. The paperback edition was published in June 2010.

Tanglewood Press has agreed to publish its sequel.

I have just finished my third novel, a love story set in a world reminiscent of medieval Spain. And started a paranormal story I plan to publish as a serial post on my blog. Think Buffy the Vampire Slayer from the point of view of her mother.
