Meet Priscilla
Oliveras.
She writes contemporary romance
novels with a Latino flavor that are well-written and full of fun and welcoming
characters.
Priscilla
is half Mexican; half Puerto Rican. It was her Dad – not a typo! – who introduced
her to romance novels while they were waiting in a hurricane shelter in the Florida
Keys.
Viola! A
devoted romance reader was born. Years later, while in college Priscilla decided
to try her hand at writing her own romance novel. Since then, she has written five romances,
had two more kids, and earned one bachelor and two master degrees. She is a member of the Romance Writers of
America, and teaches a 6-week Romance Writing course in Florida. Visit Priscilla
