Jimena I. Novaro always knew she would be a writer. She wrote her first stories before she could spell and hasn't stopped since. She was born and raised by wildlife biologists in the arid steppe of Neuquén Province, Argentina, identifying stool samples, dreaming up other worlds, and climbing mountains without her pants (that one time). She graduated with a major in Creative Writing from Warren Wilson College in Asheville, North Carolina. You can get her latest novel, Codex of Mechanical Dreams, for free on her website!
