Jeanette Ringel was born in Mexico City and studied Fine Arts at the Otis Parsons Institute in Los Angeles. Years later she moved to France, then England and is currently living in Spain. Her first novel, Sea of Clouds, is a thrilling story that takes one on a journey across China; laced with cultural insight, lodged in a storyline of love, dreams, losses and the nuances of survival. The novel is set in 1982, a time when the author travelled with her first husband to China and was on board a flight from Changsha to Guangzhou, which burst into flames right after touchdown. It is not based on real characters but on a time in history marked by the end of an era. Sea of Clouds was published in May 2017 on Amazon. It will be translated to Spanish in the next few months.
