R.Marquez resides in the Pacific Northwest, a place that inspired her to create the fictional city of Couper, WA, located across the Columbia River from Portland, OR.
She completed the Matty Cruz Adventures and is now working on the Carol Karuso Mysteries. The first book, Fallen Angel is available. The next book, "Lost Romeo," should be out early 2018.
R.Marquez's short stories have been published in Over My Dead Body!, Mysterical-E, KZINE ,and Crimespree magazines, among others.
This book recounts the events that occur to Carol Karuso in the Couper Conundrum but told from her point of view only. Feedback from readers was that they preferred to read the Matty Cruz Adventure series to find out about Carol's past. Thus I made the decision to no longer offer this book.
