This is Karla Guerrero Guerra, an author, blogger, and former lawyer. She is a passionate writer dedicated to exploring Latina American stories, immigrant experiences, historical fiction, and personal growth narratives, with a focus on inspiring young adults, particularly young-teen girls.

Karla intentionally centers her novels around young girls, offering representation and healing opportunities for this demographic, deeply understanding their unique challenges.

Karla’s transition from a legal career to an author was a journey of self-discovery, where she reclaimed her artistic creativity, broke free from predetermined paths, and embraced the boundless potential of storytelling. She is committed to showcasing the positive aspects of her birthplace, El Salvador, challenging stereotypes and dispelling the shame often associated with indigenous identity. Through her books, Karla aspires to achieve personal growth and facilitate healing, both for herself and her readers.
