Born in Uruguay and of native Charrúa descent, Valentina Cano Repetto lived in Miami, FL, for twenty-three years before following her mother’s Italian roots and moving to a secluded 1800s watermill in Italy. Her latest novel, SANCTUARY (CamCat Books, 2024), was called a “solidly scary yarn” by Library Journal and received a Notable Indie award from Shelf Unbound.

"It swept me away from the very first chapter."– Grace Morrow, author of We Become Darkness"Loba is a yell of defiance against generational trauma, violence, and misogyny. Twisty and atmospheric, this cathartic horror will captivate you with townsfolk who know too much, lost treasure, a haunted lighthouse, and otherworldly sea lions."– Eli Snow, author of The Divine Gardener's Handbook"a haunting, feverish gothic horror."– A.T. Rainach, author of The Art of Living Forever"The ghost in this book works the way a violent hunter works ... I finished the book standing up, sat in my studio for an hour making nothing, and then I could not stop drawing. Loba lights that fire."– Leopoldo Goût, author of Rooted
