Biographie de l'auteur

Elizabeth Aguilar was born in a small town by the lake in the Philippines. Gathering clams in the very clear water of the lake at sunrise made her develop a love for art and writing that she composed poems, write short stories, and paint in watercolor when she was in grade school. She was very good in figures that she was made to pursue a career in accounting and business by her father and have no choice in a strictly paternal tradition of a society like hers. She spent all her life in the corporate world, but the love for writing never left her that when she was convinced by her friends to attend a writing workshop in early 2000, she gladly did and there she met her mentor, a writer of books published in the Philippines who encouraged her to write a novel and she did. Now here's her first book, "The Secret Box".
