Rivkah LaFille loves great taquerias, great sushi, and great comics. She can’t make sushi for squat (though she makes a mean corn tortilla!), but she’s been making and teaching the art of making comics for over twenty years. Her YA GN series, Steady Beat, was nominated to the YALSA Great Graphic Novels for Teens list. Currently, this native Tex-Yorker resides in the lush, tree-filled state of Connecticut where she gardens her little green heart out. But she hikes it back to Texas and NYC as often as she can, for tacos, sushi, and of course, family.
