About

I work as a scientific translator, Spanish to English. Trabajo como traductora y revisora para trabajos científicos. Para presupuestos y horarios, contactame: c.esmahan[arroba]gmail.com

And I love birds.

I am a writer, a mother of 4 adults and former science and Spanish teacher.

So this website covers a bit of all of that.

As for my writing, my first three novels were written based on the experiences I had as a teacher in an American School in northern Spain. Bueno (semi-finalist for the Elixir Press Fiction Award), Sinco (finalist for the International Latino Book Award), and Brujas, my first three novels, published in 2014.

My fourth novel, The Laptev Virus, won the 2015 Indie Excellence award for Medical Thriller and has sold more than 10,000 copies since it was published in 2015. The Spanish edition of this novel, El Virus Laptev is now also available.

The Cobra Effect is my 5th novel and it is about plastic pollution in the ocean, a subject I care deeply about. My goal is to both teach and entertain with these two hard-science fiction novels.

My 6th novel is A Cricket of a Girl. It is historical fiction, set in El Salvador in the 1950s and ’60s, just prior to the onset of the tragic civil war. It is about two women, one American and one Salvadoran, who, though separated by culture, economic standing, and language, form a strong friendship in the midst of the turmoil they face. My father was from El Salvador and I lived there for a few years as a child, so it was important for me to write this novel.

My books are available at any major book store or on Amazon, as ebooks, audio version (The Laptev Virus) or paperback formats.
