Carolina Flórez-Cerchiaro is a USA Today bestselling and International Latino Book Award-winning author of genre bending speculative fiction based in Bogotá, Colombia. She is the author of Bochica, pitched as Mexican Gothic meets The Shining, out now from Atria Books/Primero Sueño Press. She’s always been passionate about stories, whether her own, fictional or not, or those that belong to others. Her work is fueled by curiosity, her love of history and the supernatural, and the desire to give voice to traditionally marginalized perspectives. When she’s not writing, she can be found sipping black coffee, puzzling, and listening to audiobooks.
