About the author

I am, above all, a lover of books. I try to read at leas fifty books each year and, for the past couple of them I've been lucky enough to have been chosen by the host of one of Mexico's most prominent radio talk shows as the official book reviewer for her website (It's in Spanish buy you can look it up here: http://fernanda-familiar.com/)

About eight years ago I decided to try my hand at writing and thus ended up with my first children's book, "Las niñas topo y la leyenda de Gilgamés" (The mole girls and the legend of Gilgamesh)which had an immediate accepance with editors and audiences. After "Las niñas" I wrote "Estrellas de vainilla" (Vanila Stars) which, fortunately, has had even greater success.

Now I'm crossing my fingers because shortly my next book, "Las cavernarias y el templo perdido" (The cave dwellers and the lost temple" will hit the bookstores.

My three books are children´s adventure novels and are targeted for kids around 11 years old.

Reviews

[Papá Lector]

Un libro interesante, misterioso y con una historia muy original, entramos en su lectura sin saber exactamente que esperar y nos sorprendio de gran manera.

Un libro recomendable para los niños y jovenes de casa pero que sin duda los adultos también disfrutarán.

Skar está de vacaciones y ya tiene todo planeado. Sin embargo sus padres le cambian el plan y se lo llevan junto con su hermanito a Veracruz, a ver una casa que les ha sido heredada. Skar piensa que morirá de aburrimiento... hasta que conoce ese lugar. Cosas extrañas empiezan a suceder con la leyenda de La Mulata de Córdoba, quién era la dueña original de la casa, varios siglos atrás.

Es una historia acerca de la familia, tus raíces y de estar orgulloso de quién eres y de dónde vienes. Y de disfrutar de las pequeñas cosas.
Tiene un final inesperado que me encantó.

[Maira Gutierrez]
