Originally from San Francisco and raised in Mexico, former DJ, currently software architect by day and wordsmith whenever-is-possible, Gerardo Delgadillo writes about teens venturing into México or living in México. He has lived the life he writes about in his YA contemporary novels and loves to show México from an insider's perspective—the rich culture, mercados, tacos callejeros, futbol, and a lot more, intertwining as much Español as his editors allow him to.
