Gloria V. Casañas (born 22 August 1964 in Buenos Aires) is an Argentine writer of historical fiction and romance novels.

Although she confesses to having written all of her life, her first published work was On the Wings of Seduction in 2008.[1] This was followed by The Teacher from the Lagoon in 2010,[2] which became a best-seller and rose her to notoriety amongst fans of the genre. The book tells the story of Elizabeth O'Connor, a Bostonian teacher who is recruited by Domingo Faustino Sarmiento to provide elementary education to Indians and Whites alike in the arid plains of Argentina. The novel’s success led to a stint giving courses on Contemporary Latin American Literature of the Southern Cone for the Department of World Languages of Framingham State University, Massachusetts during the fall of 2014.[3][4]

Other works include Yporâ (2011, set during the Paraguayan War, won Reader's Prize at the 38th International Buenos Aires Book Fair),[5][6] The Broken Angel (2012, spin-off of The Teacher from the Lagoon),[7] The Song of the Sea (2013),[8] Through the Trail of Tears (2014, about the Cherokee removal),[9] The Boston Savage (2016, also set in the Teacher from the Lagoon continuity)[10] and Long Moon Night (2016).[11] She also wrote a short story for the anthology Oh, Love (2014).[12]

Her writing is characterized by exhaustive historical research.
