E M RIVERA

While attending a junior college creative writing course in the early 1980’s, E M Rivera discovered a flair for writing. Her teachers encouraged her to keep writing. She felt she only had one story in her and unwilling to give up the one-story belief, because it was all she had, E M Rivera stopped writing. Thirty some years later. she is finally ready to change that story. E M Rivera is seeking to become a prolific author with a goal of a hundred books in her lifetime.

Stories Behind the Stories

One of my earliest memories is sitting on the roof, invisible, and imagining worlds beyond my own. This simple act of daydreaming became the foundation of my storytelling.

Whenever I need more from the story, I either close my eyes and wait for it to happen or I go for a walk.
