About the Author


Ayelen Barrios Ruiz Pagano is a college grad and will be receiving a B.A. with a double major in English and Hispanic Studies in June of 2014. She is a lover of books and pop culture. She has always favored contemporary fiction, however she enjoys dabbling in other genres, especially dystopian fiction. She has been writing since she was in elementary school, avoiding homework and other responsibilities in favor of jotting down a story. 

There is nothing she enjoys more than a classic Disney movie, the Little Mermaid being her favorite, and embarrassingly knows the lyrics to pretty much all Disney princess movie songs, although she will only perform them in the shower. She is fluent in both English and Spanish and studied a bit of French during her time in University. She is a Jane Austen fanatic and reads her works at least once a year. She is also very much into movies and television shows, as she becomes readily obsessed, especially if they are based on book series (PLL and the Vampire Diaries, for example). In the future, she hopes to continue her success, and find something she is passionate about doing.
