Alejandra D. Mattoni lives in the suburbs of Los Angeles. Her most recent work is inspired by a childhood dream, or possibly a memory, in which she overheard her parents discussing a man who sold his stepdaughter in order to pay off a gambling debt. While driving the California freeways one day, the memory of this conversation she may or may not have overheard as a child came to her. And she thought, what if the child came back? This planted the seed that would become her debut novel, The Wet Woman. You can find her on Twitter at @alediazmattoni and online at http: //www.alejandradiazmattoni.com
