Helena Torres
Elena Torres was born in New Mexico, lived many years in Los Angeles and now resides in Denver. It was during her years in Los Angeles that she fully realized her love of writing and became a published poet. She wrote the first paragraph for this novel in 1984 and tucked it away, thinking she would do something with it later. When she moved to Denver she decided she wanted to write a book and retrieved that paragraph, from which A Golden Moment of Freedom was born.
