Mylo Carbia is a Hollywood screenwriter turned #1 bestselling author, widely known for her work in the horror-thriller genre and trademark of surprise twist endings. Ranked 7th in the Top 10 Horror Writers Alive Today, and among the Top 250 Most Influential Authors by Richtopia.com, her award-winning writing style has been described as A perfect mix between Stephen King, M.

In 2015, Carbia left ghostwriting to join the publishing world. Her debut novel, THE RAPING OF AVA DESANTIS, hit #1 bestseller in four categories, and won multiple awards including the prestigious 2016 Silver Falchion Award for Outstanding Achievement in Fiction.
