Kaela Rivera was raised to believe in will-o’-the-wisps and el chupacabra, but even scary stories couldn’t stop her from reading in the isolated treetops, caves, and creeks of Tennessee’s Appalachian forests. She still believes in the folktales of her Mexican-American and British parents, but now she writes about them from the adventure-filled mountains of the Wild West. When she is not crafting stories, she is using her English degree from Brigham Young University as an editor for a marketing company. Her biggest hope is to highlight and explore the beauty of cultural differences and how sharing those differences can bring us all closer. |
