About the Author

Àngels Gimeno nació en Barcelona, en pleno Ensanche, magnífico trazado urbano que engloba edificios suntuosos y residencias de clase media en los que la autora ha hurgado buscando como fondo de sus novelas el erotismo de la vida cotidiana, los enigmas, los sucesos paranormales que conviven en el entorno urbanita y que muchas veces pasan desapercibidos, fantasmas de diseño como todo en la ciudad mediterránea, pero fantasmas al fin y al cabo. Tres de sus novelas publicadas con su nombre real, El diablo azul, Como un tiburón y El vestido, conforman la imaginativa trilogía "BCN Mágica" donde profesionales urbanitas, médicos, economistas, abogados, etcétera, se enfrentan a la incógnita vital y a sucesos paranormales que les desbordan. La Biblioteca del Congreso de Washington D.C. ha grabado en audio novelas suyas para lectores de habla hispana con problemas visuales para acceder a libros impresos. Durante años, con pseudónimo, ha colaborado en la edición de novelas de ciencia ficción, terror, románticas, novela negra, etc., con traducciones en Portugal y Brasil. También ha realizado reportajes sobre seguridad ciudadana publicados en la revista Vivir en Barcelona. Àngels Gimeno es miembro de la Asociación Colegial de Escritores de España.
