Greetings, Book Gorillas! So you want to know about me, do you? Bwahahaha!
I live in the great state of Texas. Hubby is a native Texan, but I come from more tropical climates - the beautiful island of Puerto Rico.
I love reading, which eventually pushed me to discover that I also love writing! Flexing my imagination muscles has been a long pastime of mine. It's how I distracted myself when trying to go to sleep as a kid. I also love playing PC games, watching movies/TV/Anime, and reading manga.
Currently, I have nine books published, with more on the way. Most are fantasy, YA fantasy, urban fantasy, and science fiction. However, my latest is a cozy historical mystery! (It's also my first series!)
If you've not had enough of me yet, visit me at www.gloriaoliver.com for some free reads, sample chapters, and more!
