Marta Acosta

Marta Acosta loved books from the moment she learned to read, and loved writing from the moment she held a big pencil in her grubby little hand and drew a letter. She is the #1 Amazon Latino & Hispanic bestselling author of nine novels, including the Casa Dracula series, the Coyote Run series, Marvel's The She-Hulk Diaries, and Dark Companion. A contributor of op-eds and features to the San Francisco Chronicle and the Contra Costa Times, she's also been a commentator on NPR. Her novels have been featured in the Wall St. Journal, Entertainment Weekly, Good Morning America, Marie Claire, and Cosmopolitan. She's a graduate of Stanford University and a Steinbeck Institute Honoree. A native of the San Francisco Bay Area, Marta lives with her family and rescued dogs in the East Bay. Her love for dogs inspired her Coyote Run books, featuring a canine rehabilitator on the autism spectrum. Marta can act normal for five-minute intervals. She has always sung to her dogs, but now that she has a pitbull mix, she also howls with them. Visit her online at www.MartaAcosta.com
