Anais Torres (1988) was born and raised on the northwest side of Chicago, where the vibrant rhythms of her Puerto Rican heritage shaped her love for storytelling early on. By the age of 12, she was already deep in the world of online fanfiction, weaving stories full of heart, humor, and drama long before she knew they were laying the foundation for her future.

A graduate of Lake Forest College in 2010, Anais began her creative journey as a published poet and spoken word artist while still in high school. Her involvement in youth service projects and passion for expressive writing gave her a platform to speak, share, and connect with others through words.

Now a devoted wife, mother of one spirited boy, and a full-time risk manager by day,

I became interested in life after tragic events and how the victim copes long after the investigators and media have cleared the scene. I began researching about victims and a lot of the information I found most helpful and powerful were the stories of rape victims.

I knew that I wanted to tell Rachel's story because it wasn't something I've read in a book before. We see a lot of details about rape stories and this was a side I wanted to tell.

I do know some rape victims, I was able to chat with them and ask questions but I didn't base the book on a real event.

3 Stars For Cinder & Ella by Kelly Oram

Let me start this review by saying, this was the teen romance my soul needed this week.That said, this book isn’t the most original story. Hell, it’s not even a literary grand slam or in my opinion, developed to its full potential, but it does make you smile. And at the end of the day isn’t that what we’re all striving for. In the real world I spend most of my day arguing circles around claims and Read more of this blog post »

“It's hard to let go of something you never really had but, even harder when you know it’s everything you ever wanted,”
Anais Torres, Being Brave Again

“He was supposed to be the first man to tell her that she was beautiful and help her determine who she was before anyone had the opportunity to label her. She was supposed to be his “little girl”.”
Anais Torres, The Reaper's Daughter

“Real life is nothing like television, there are no Special Victims Units like you see on TV protectively guiding women through the process. The police will act like just because they didn't kill you, they didn't somehow end your life.”
Anais Torres, Being Brave Again

“The role of a writer is not to say what we can all say, but what we are unable to say.”
Anais Nin

“The heart is the toughest part of the body.
Tenderness is in the hands.”
Carolyn Forché, The Country Between Us

(Casual Chance, 1964)”
Colette

Ernest Hemingway
