About Edie Ayala, Author

Writer of Literary Fiction from Chile

Edie Ayala’s writing is a tapestry of rich experiences woven through odd characters from diverse cultures. Inspiration is drawn not only from the streets of Santiago, Chile but also from whispers of the Atacama Desert and the fullness of her homeland in Canada. Having lived in Europe and South America, she settled in Santiago, Chile more than 25 years ago.

Ayala invites readers to explore the complexities of love, loss, and our shared humanity. Underlying themes about global interdependence raise questions about social justice and the environment. Transporting her audience into worlds where the extraordinary meets the quotidian, readers appreciate the beauty in the mundane and the magic in the ordinary.
