    📝 Creadora de libros diferentes con personajes que no olvidarás. 🙃 Soy una escritora argentina, nacida y radicada en Buenos Aires. Amante de los libros desde pequeña, escribo en mis ratos libres: por las noches o, a veces, durante el almuerzo (las mañanas son para dormir). Claro que primero tengo que ser capaz de soltar el libro del momento. Siempre sueño despierta y me tropiezo constantemente.  📚 Novelas, novelettes, cuentos... mi pasión es crear.
