What the River Knows

Inez Olivera lives in the 19th-century upper-class society of Buenos Aires, but her parents have been in Egypt nearly her entire life for archaeological research. She wants nothing more than to join them and see their life's work, but when a message about their tragic deaths arrives, she’s left with their fortune. She takes off on a boat to Cairo, but upon arriving, she quickly realizes there is more to her parents’ deaths than meets the eye. Inez does everything she can to find out what happened to her parents, but her pesky uncle and his annoyingly good looking assistant, Whit, get in her way at every turn. Inez uses ancient magic and an unlikely companion to uncover the truth.

Born and raised in Boca Raton to a pair of Bolivian immigrants, matured in Orlando and currently living my adult life in Maitland, Florida. I'm an avid movie goer, a giant word nerd, and talented in mispronouncing basic English words, which is just the beginning of my endearing quirks. I love to doodle, cook, and read (sometimes a book a day—I know, I should really go outside more). I freely admit to loving the heck out of Young Adult literature (Potter!) and am a raving romantic sentimentalist—I adore Austen, James, Hardy and Wharton. I'm big on imagination, traveling, trivia about world history, and getting to the heart of the things. I have a profound fondness for all things Anthropologie. 

Along with writing, I’m also a graphic designer, specializing in greeting cards. My work has been sold in nationwide brands like Anthropologie (!!!), Crate and Barrel, and Paper Source, and in over 350 mom and pop shops around the country.
