About the author

A Mexican native, Garcia immigrated with his parents to the suburbs of Chicago in the summer 1993. After learning the English language, Garcia developed a love for the Goosebumps and Fear Street series by R.L Stine. At the age of 14, Garcia was given a personal computer when his school's computer lab upgraded to Macintosh systems, giving Garcia an easier means to craft stories. Years later, he developed a passion for acting and theatre as a whole. As an adult, Garcia had a prolific career as a cake decorator, earning 5 gold medals from Food Network Challenge–a popular baking competition. After years in the competitive baking industry, Garcia headed to the world renown The Second City training center in Chicago and began reigniting his passion for acting and writing. Thanks to his studies at the center, Garcia went on to write, produce and direct his own works at his local community theatre. In 2018 Garcia moved to sunny Florida, where he lives with his husband and two spoiled lap dogs. Thanks to the isolation of not knowing anyone in a new city, Garcia began writing what he was experiencing, which would shape the final outcome of his series, The Raven's Conjuring.
