I am a professional freelance writer, editor and translator currently living in Pennsylvania.
This is my story:
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 California in Davis, CA.
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's "Facts on File" series: Heroin, Ritalin, Mad Cow Disease, and Lung Cancer.
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. It's available now as an e-book.
Ginger Knowlton of Curtis Brown Ltd represents my YA novels.
My paranormal romance, IMMORTAL LOVE, featuring the Spanish poets Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer and Federico García Lorca as immortals is scheduled for publication in September 2012 by Crimson Romance. The Spanish version, Bécquer Eterno, is available at Cultiva libros and Amazon.com.
