Ana Torres grew up in East New York Brooklyn, the third youngest of seven children. She has earned a Bachelor’s Degree in the Social Science with an Education Concentration program at Ashford University, but her long time ambition has always been writing. Love Child is her first novel. She lives in New York with her sons Jason and Kristofer and their father Walter.
“I really liked the cover they suggested for me. It was so fitting to the story, and it has made some people notice the book just like they suggested. It was a striking cover, really.
I have nothing negative to say but I think if Outskirts Press were to correct typos overlooked by the author, this would be beneficial to them as well as the author. A perfect typed book or nearly perfect benefits both, so if an author cannot afford all the corrections, then this could be something to benefit both. But all in all it was a wonderful experience and I would publish here again. I am working on a sequel to Love Child so Outskirts Press will likely be the publisher again. They did a wonderful job.”
– A.M. Torres, author of Love Child
