Louise Riveiro-Mitchell started writing in her teens. Growing up in the 60's, she became fond of westerns and one could find her sitting on a chair watching whatever western was on. The Virginian, The Tall Man, Laramie, Wagon Train, Laredo etc. She started to pick up their vernacular and at times people find it hard to believe she's from New York. She wrote her first book in 2001 and if it wasn't for her late husband's insistence, it would never have led to others and two poetry books. She has also ghostwritten over 37 historical westerns. Not only does she love the genre, she finds that era in our history interesting. She lives in Westchester County, New York and has two children and three grandchildren. She still watches those westerns from years ago.
