Author bio

My name is Danitza, which is a Croatian name that means either "The prettiest Star of them all" or "Morning Star." My father is Croatian and my mother is Spanish. Regardless, I was born and raised in Chile. I have so many influences from different cultures! I believe that literature's main purpose is to give beauty to the soul and uplift the spirit. I try that all my stories, poems, and novels are as magnificent as my human abilities allow me. I invite you to follow me on these accounts: Instagram: @danitza.art Tik Tok: @danitza.art
