Lia Amador is a Miami flower transplanted in Georgia with her husband and kids. When she isn't writing kissing books, she's typically juggling too many other duties as assigned. She also writes science fiction and fantasy stories as Valerie Valdes.
""Enchantingly cute."" — Kirkus Reviews “Whimsically winning... Amador’s scenes of magical creation are vivid and spellbinding... [She] does a wonderful job rounding out both characters’ emotional states and their connection as Miami Cubans in the dual-perspective narration. This is romance at its sweet and frothiest, medium-low stakes but high reward.” — BookPage “Valdes sprinkles humor and sarcasm liberally, bringing levity to the storyline. The plot moves briskly, with enough momentum to keep readers entertained from start to finish. Valdes blends found family, adventure, and humor to end a fun trilogy on a high note.” — New York Journal of Books on Fault Tolerance “Jam-packed with weird aliens, mysterious artifacts, and lovable characters... Eva and her family are Latinx and often include un-italicized Spanish in their dialogue, a rare find in a genre that usually uses whiteness as the default. A tremendous good time and an impressive debut.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) on Chilling Effect “Featuring memorable Cuban-descended characters, this engaging space opera debut delivers a story that dances between hilarity and seriousness, with all the joy and frustration psychic cats can bring to the mix.” — Library Journal (starred review) on Chilling Effect
