Eva Orilla comes from a long line of writers. She has always loved the power of storytelling and language. When she was a teen, she was granted a rare glimpse into the mind of one of her role models who shared her journals that spanned over sixty years. Her life was recorded in those books, and Eva was mesmerized by the depth of love and affection in her words.

It would be no surprise to that same role model that Eva is now addicted to writing and creating through language. She has been journaling for forty-eight years. Although she has written for several magazines and various other small publications, "Whispers of Winter" is her first novel.

Eva writes from her dining room table and juggles time between her family and her farm. She also enjoys gardening, quilting, photography, painting, and genealogy research. Eva is always writing and is currently working on the sequel to this very book.
