About the Author

Emilia Rosa was born in the US and raised in Brazil. During her childhood she lived in Rio de Janeiro, where every sunny weekend was generally spent at the beach. Having moved to South of Brazil, she holds fond memories of summer vacations spent in Rio, which also involved many hours at the beach. Her love for the sea and Rio de Janeiro, as well as that city's history, permeates the pages of her first fiction book, FINDING CRISTIN. During her teens she avidly read in Portuguese, Spanish, English, French and Italian. A few years ago she developed a love for murder mysteries written during the Golden Age of Detective Fiction. Emilia moved back to the United States several years ago. She has published poetry. Her readers can contact her on FaceBook/Instagram/Goodreads (Emilia Rosa Author), and Twitter (EmliaURosa1).

Flora has retired from the field of cultural resources management, and is now a freelance copyeditor. She lives in northern Ohio, with four cats and an ancient mini-dachshund (none of them hers!).

Editorial Reviews

"A fun book, FINDING CRISTINA, I recommend it to anybody who'd like a very good combination of history, a love story, a look at the times and customs as portrayed in 1920s Rio, an adventure, and a mystery with a clever conclusion." Patrick Lawrence O'Keeffe, author of "Cold Air Return: A Novel."

"The sights and sounds of 1920s Rio de Janeiro come alive in this self-assured and charming first novel by Emilia Rosa. Filled with private eyes, mobsters, and romance, FINDING CRISTINA is a little gem of a book." R.J. Norgard, author of the Sidney Reed Mystery Series

"Emilia's writing technique not only provides rich written detail so that you can see every character in your mind, but it is in depth enough that you feel the atmosphere of beach breezes and distant tropical music. I anxiously await the next installment of the story." Kristine Goldsmith, Director of the Rossford Public Library, Ohio.

"One of the fascinating things about Emilia Rosa's book is her exquisitely detailed style. Her writing is unique, different from most other contemporary authors. This is partly due to her cultural background. While born in California, she was raised and educated in Brazil. Portuguese, not English, was her natural language. Returning to the United States and becoming a novelist and storyteller, she has brought a classical flavor to her writing. It's like watching an old movie on film unfold one frame at a time." Joel Rudinger, author of "Lost and Found in Alaska"
