Cesar A. Loera Rios is a thriller and suspense author and ELA teacher based in the US. He's building one of the most ambitious multi-book universes in the genre — the Between Shadows and Desires series, spanning eight planned books, plus the upcoming The Scarlet Sister series.
Writing alongside a full-time teaching career, Cesar brings the discipline of someone who carves out the hours before sunrise and after midnight — because the stories don't wait, and neither does he.
Book one — Echoes of Her Mistake — is available now on Amazon. It's a story of desire wrapped in consequence, where one mistake echoes through every chapter of the life that follows.
"The shadows don't lie. They just show you the parts of yourself you forgot you left behind."
When he's not writing, Cesar is in the classroom shaping the next generation of readers and thinkers. Everything feeds everything.
The book that started it all. A story of desire wrapped in consequence, where one mistake echoes through every chapter of the life that follows. Two shadows. One city. A secret that rewrites everything.
Gripping, atmospheric, and impossible to put down — this is where the universe of shadows begins.
