She recently did her Ancestry DNA which revealed she has a mosaic of cultures in her heritage: Portuguese, Spanish, Celtic, French, Native American, Mali with a tiny bit of Sephardic Jews mixed in. Her 2nd novel, set in 2nd century Iberian Peninsula (today's Spain) will reflect her mixed cultural heritage. Read more about it on her website: giselleaguiar.wordpress.com.
