Vanessa Gonzalez is a Cuban-American writer and artist originally from Hialeah, Florida. She is currently living in Cape Coral, Florida with her son Kai. Vanessa knew she wanted to be a writer when she was in elementary school but never really got around to doing so until 2022. She wrote PRETZEL AND THE LOST BONE for her son and decided to publish the book to share it with everyone else. She is planning on continuing her writing journey and we look forward to seeing new stories from her.
