Lora Rivera

Lora Rivera writes and climbs rocks in Tucson, Arizona, where she has worked as a literary agent, children's biographer, and crepe maker. Today, she develops online trainings for child welfare professionals.

As Vice President of CASA – Climbing Association of Southern Arizona, she serves as the senior editor of Stories from the Drylands, a community-driven anthology.

In a land awash with sunlight, she'd trade her mother's Irish hues for her Asian-Indian father's darker tone—but that's all she'd like from him, thank you. Learn about other stories, books, recent climbing adventures, or upcoming readings at www.lorarivera.com.
