Meet the author and learn about the inspiration behind "When Darkness Falls".

This event invites book lovers who enjoy emotional books. Ana will be sharing her personal journey to becoming a writer and her inspiration for her book. The presentation will be followed by a Q&A with the author and a chance to win a signed copy of the book.

Ana Gutierrez grew up on Goosebumps, Scooby-Doo, Harry Potter, Nancy Drew, and spooky Mexican tales that were definitely not meant for children. She’s always been drawn to mystery, true crime, the supernatural, drama, and fantasy worlds. That love of stories is what inspired her first novel, When Darkness Falls. When she’s not writing, she’s probably binge-watching K-dramas, rom-coms, true crime, or whatever happens to pull her in that week. Visit her website at www.anagutierrezauthor.com.
