Lupe Ruiz-Flores is a children’s book author who discovered it’s never too late to tell a good story.

Author Lupe Ruiz Flores

Being a published writer was Lupe’s life-long dream. Growing up with little money, especially to buy such luxury items as books, Lupe’s earliest inspiration for storytelling was from listening to the stories her father and grandmother would weave for her family’s entertainment.

But with a family of her own to raise and a 26-year career busily devoted to being an aerospace engineering technician for the Department of Defense, Lupe's dream always seemed to be pushed onto the back burner.
