I’m an anxious Portuguese-American bookworm, born and raised in Miami. I write romance with humor and sweet heat. Under the pen name Isabel Catrina I write romance that has a sprinkle of gray and a dash of dark.

When I’m not writing I’m a freelance social media manager.

Despite being born and raised in Miami I prefer the mountains and fall/winter season. Maybe one day I’ll have my small town life.

You can probably find me cooking while rewatching Lost Girl, The Wedding Season, The Hobbit or catching up on anime.
