Carmen Amato

I'm a suspense author best known for the Detective Emilia Cruz mysteries set in Acapulco. Occasional nomad, cultural observer, reluctantly recovering Furla handbag addict. Overly fond of coffee.

There are 4 people in my family. We own 8 Kindle-enabled devices, 2000 print books, and a sock-stealing Belgian Malinois dog. 

Much of my writing is inspired by my experiences living in Mexico and Central America. Wattpad is where I test new story ideas and bits of writing inspiration. Let me know what you think!
