Athena Diaz (27 years-old) is an American actress, singer, and producer. Diaz is widely known by her role in the TV series A Queen at home, starring as Queen Fer at the age of fifteen. She recorded 3 albums for the show, which she presented along the globe.
Diaz was sixteen when she signed for Connor Winters Ltd, stars agency. There she knew Katherine "Kay" Winters, who will become her BFF.
When Diaz was eighteen, the contract of the show was terminated. She then faced a singing career solo under her own name. She published her debut album Athena a year later which singles topped the Billboard.
Her second album Other Kind took Spotify, and other digital platforms, by storm.
She met Gareth Freechild, Dallas franchise football player, and they started dating. This was a doomed relationship since the beginning, as Freechild was surrounded by several rumors about disloyalty and his extreme jealousy.
She starred the film The Day (supernatural thriller) and played the main role in the TV series Killing Floor. She also delivered her third album Love me like I do, where the naïve Athena left the place to a melancholic one. This was her worst-seller album, anyway she topped Billboard again with a couple of singles.
One month before her 27s, several pictures of actress Anna Williams and Gareth Freechild kissing, during the Palm Spring Festival gala, leaked to the press.
Love and Live Tour was cancelled after Diaz's major depressive episode. Since then, she was away of all public life.
That experience helped him to known better the independent publishing environment, where he knew various experienced writers who guided his first steps.
Some years later he will publish the thriller trilogy Arma Humeante (composed by the novels El Revólver Dorado, El Cuchillo Perdido and the closure with El Cadáver de Piedra) with positive feedback from the readers.
Del Rio next book Muerte con Aroma a Café drew attention from a small publishing company. They published and spread the book, and they even translated it into English. Death Tastes like Coffee reached one of F.J. Johnson's editors. Johnson is a booktuber with his very own cable TV show.
Del Rio now is working in a new project, The Goddess of Death, where Detective Minerva Lee is based on Athena Diaz. Del Rio was shocked after watching a documentary talking about Diaz's troubles. He started following her in her social network, listening to her music and watching her series and films, so Mina (Minerva) could be as similar as possible.
He wants to present the story in the Wattys Contest by Wattpad, where he has several short stories published.
