AN AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR BORN IN RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL, Edmond lived for over two decades in Ontario, Upland, and Rancho Cucamonga, California.

ARC Requests from Fellow Authors

Hi, everybody! If you’d like me to review the advance copy of your novel and provide feedback/review before publication, let me know. I prefer reading literary fiction, especially historical, fantasy, and romance. I'm not a good fit for chick lit, horror, murder mystery, and sci-fi. (And nothing that portrays abuse to animals!)
