Ana Coto Fernández was born in Asturias, where she spent most of her childhood and teenage years. She focused her studies on the huge and unfamiliar world of disabilities after realising that it was differently able people who brought out the best in her. She currently lives in Madrid with her family. She burst onto the literary scene in 2011 with 'El secreto del Valle de las Sombras' ('The Secret of the Valley of Shadows'). In 2014 she published 'Bajo tu luna' ('Beneath Your Moon'), followed by 'El club de los Kakamonstruos' ('The Kakamonstruos Club') in 2015, 'El club de los kakamonstruos: que viene Mr. Bully' ('The Kakamonstruos Club; Here Comes Mr Bully') in 2018 and 'Terronírica: Lo que de verdad importa' ('Terronírica; What Really Matters') in 2021. She has contributed to numerous anthologies and charity projects and has been a member of the jury at various film and literature festivals. Their implicit values make her work stand out. Thanks to this, they are compulsory reading at schools throughout Spain.
