Mimi Riviera was born on the beautiful island of Costa Rica, where she spent the earlier years of her childhood finding enjoyment in moonlight nights by the ocean and the balmy afternoons sitting and dining on the shores with meals of freshly caught snapper fish, lobsters, and freshly fried potato chips.

Her career in writing started when she was only twelve years old, winning her first national literary contest writing about a day in the life of a tooth. Since then, she has written numerous essays, articles, and books of various genres, and will continue to examine life and its bevy of feelings exemplified by its inhabitants called human beings.

It is her wish that each time you engage your eyes with her work, you will be transported to another world of beauty through her eyes as well as resonating with each descriptive stroke of her pen.
