Analise M. Oliver, the daughter of David Fuentes Martinez, listened to her father tell stories of his involvement in the Cuban Revolution over the years, eventually realizing that he had an amazing story to tell, and began taking the time to write those details down as he told them. Analise soon realized that a novel was unfolding, motivating her to continue to interview her father and finish the story. 

Mrs. Oliver is a consultant and trainer in Document Imaging and Management Technology. She has been a business owner since 1994, has authored a trade publication, developed training courses, and teaches others how to start and manage their own successful technology businesses.

Married with four grown sons and seven grandchildren, she enjoys spending time with family. Analise is a breast cancer survivor, an advocate for at-risk youth, and the treasurer of the church she attends.
