Vanessa L. Torres, ON THE WINGS OF LA NOCHE - with Emily J. Taylor!

In her human form, Noche is a lonely science girl grieving the tragic accidental drowning of her girlfriend, Dante Fuentes. At night, she is a Lechuza—an ethereal jet-black owl that guides the dead to the after—who visits her dead girlfriend at the lake, desperate for more time with her. The longer Dante’s soul roams the earth, the more likely it is that she will fade into the unknown, lost forever, but Noche cannot let go...

Vanessa L. Torres is a Mexican American author, an adventure seeker, and a mom to a flashlight-under-the-covers-reader. She is a thirty-year veteran of the fire service and is equally proud to call herself an author. Her debut young adult novel, The Turning Pointe, released in 2022. When she’s not writing, she balances her time between anything outdoors, and spending time with her family close to home in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.

Emily J. Taylor is the New York Times and indie bestselling author of Hotel Magnifique. Born and raised in California, she's lived in four states and two continents, all of which have conveniently given her an endless amount of story fodder. She currently works as a creative director in Minneapolis, where she spends the long winters dreaming up glittering worlds to spin into dark tales.
