About the author

Mira González is a full-time chaos manager of three small humans and the author of Strange Lights. You can find her escaping into novels when she isn’t traveling. Mira currently resides in Fiji, but she grew up in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and worked on oil rigs under the northern lights in Alaska. Equal parts personal experience and a wildly overactive imagination inspire her stories, which center the queer and diverse characters she relates most to.

Though her children are the inspiration for the monster toddler in her book, her husband is regrettably not a werewolf, and she can only dream of a sentient Winnebago.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this eARC copy.

I thought this was an excellent debut novel!! What a fun and cozy story that really had it all. A grumpy detective with a cryptid child that eats goats, werewolves, alien technology, magic, a TARDIS-like sentient Winnebago, and a podcasting bro who lives to debunk myths that are right under his nose!

I could not put this book down! I'm not typically looking for found family stories, but this one had me on the edge of my seat. I can't get over how fun and whimsical the journey was.

Read for work, a book about a sentient RV and toddler chupacabra that will make you cry lowkey!!
