Author & Book Coach

Welcome!

Thank you for visiting my website!

My name is Delise Torres, and I’m a women’s fiction author and certified book coach. I grew up in Puerto Rico, watching telenovelas, which have influenced my writing style and the types of stories I write. 

My debut novel was partly inspired by my work experience as a quality assurance manager in the food industry.

One Tough Cookie

A 2024 International Latino Book Awards Honorable Mention: Best Novel – Romance

A simply riveting, fun, and funny read from first page to last, One Tough Cookie is all the most impressive when considering that it is author Delise Torres' debut as a novelist.

A Latina Fleabag committed to her carefree single life meets the sexy new mechanic determined to break through her defenses, in this humorous and heartfelt foodie women’s fiction set at a cookie company.
