Ron C. Nieto was born not that long ago in a bustling European city. There were no castles and definitely no princes whatsoever, and she can’t recall any fairy looming over her cradle, but she was awarded a gift of sorts: a wild imagination combined with a love for words.

She always knew she wanted to be a writer: actually, she doesn't recall ever striving to be anything else.

Well, past that amusing stage wherein she insisted on being Batman, that is.

While Ron still loves comics and superheroes, cheesecake is a better bribe these days if you're trying to hurry up the release of her next book. Even virtual cheesecakes in her mailbox can do the trick, sometimes.
