About the Author

Yolani Rognoni Arias was born and grew up in Panama. She received a degree in Civil Engineering in Atlanta, Georgia, and then she returned to Panama and worked in the construction industry for several years. She met the love of her life in Colon and traveled with him to the other side of the world. In a zoo in Thailand, two sad tigers gave her the idea of a story about the freedoms that chained souls dream about, and that is how Freckles' Path came to life. She lives with her husband, who is still the love of her life, and their two children in Panama, where she is a teacher at the secondary level. Silvia Fernandez-Risco is Mexican, but she moved to Panama with her husband in 2000. Though at first she missed the tacos and quesadillas, she quickly adapted to the country. She loves to write and design books.
