CLARIBEL A. ORTEGA

AUTHOR OF GHOST SQUAD

Why did you become an author?

I've always loved to write and make up stories and reading is are my favorite way to spend time! I also wanted to write the kinds of books I never got to read growing up.

 What are you reading right now?

The Ballad Of Songbirds And Snakes!

 Have you ever been to the Bronx? If so, what's a favorite memory you have? If not, what do you know or think about the Bronx?

I was born and raised in the Bronx! I have a lot of favorite memories but one of the best is playing in the streets and turning on the fire hydrant on hot summer days.

 What is a quote you live by?

“We have limited capability, but we have unlimited determination.” —Meteor Garden
