Gabriela Romero Lacruz is a multidisciplinary artist and author of the #1 Sunday Times bestselling novel, The Sun and the Void. She graduated with a BS in chemical engineering from the University of Houston and, after a stint in oil and gas, launched The Moonborn, a clothing, accessories, and stationery brand featuring her own illustrations.

She writes dark and twisty fantasy stories set in places that remind her of her homeland, so in her mind, she’s never too far from the beaches and mountains of Venezuela. She also illustrates books for children and adults.
