J. C. Cervantes

J.C. Cervantes — Jennifer Cervantes — is a New York Times bestselling American author from New Mexico who writes for middle-grade, young adult and adult readers.

Her debut, Tortilla Sun (2010), was a New Voices pick; she is best known for The Storm Runner trilogy (2018–2020), published under Rick Riordan Presents, in which a disabled New Mexico boy called Zane Obispo discovers he is the son of the Maya storm god Hurakan.

She has since written The Lords of Night, the YA novels Flirting with Fate and Always Isn't Forever, Fractured Path in The Mirror quartet, and the adult romance The Enchanted Hacienda. Her work draws consistently on Mexican and Maya folklore, and on New Mexico.
