Elizabeth Espinal is an acclaimed author of 2 novels: Entre Dos Reyes (Between two Kings) and the most recent, Arome, the first book of an upcoming series. Elizabeth is an Advertising and Marketing Professional who gained multiple international creativity awards while working as a Creative Director in ad agencies in the Dominican Republic and the USA. After moving to America, Elizabeth was diagnosed with Lupus, and by 2010 she started writing her first novel as a way to cope with isolation while undergoing a severe treatment. That's how the Spanish version of Entre Dos Reyes was released in 2011 and praised by readers. The captivating novel tells of a story between a divorced immigrant mother who's facing many challenges, and a successful American man, who's lives and characters collide. The drama combines family issues, immigration challenges, temptations, betrayals, and strong faith values, to tell a story that, once hooked, will cost several sleepless nights to finish. Elizabeth works both as an author and as CEO of her own Digital Marketing Business. This multitasker mother of two artists has involved her own daughter as the graphic designer for the Arome series, and her musician son, to create an original soundtrack for the soon to be released audiobook version of Arome. As a Christian, Elizabeth is always grateful to GOD for every day of life, which she embraces as a gift from heaven. Elizabeth defines herself as a "Romantic, that likes to share good stories and strong values of resilience with all readers." #faith-based LINKS: Personal Facebook https://www.facebook.com/elizabeth.espinal7/ Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Elizabeth.Espinal.Marketing Instagram https://www.instagram.com/eespinal003/ 2 WEBSITES http://books.elizabethespinal.com/ https://www.eesocialmedia.com/ Link to Amazon for the books https://www.amazon.com/-/es/Elizabeth-Espinal/e/B08KFPFCLR?ref_=dbs_p_ebk_r00_abau_000000 --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-district-channel/support
