Bel Vidal is the pen name of a Bolivian-born Australian writer. When she's not working at the office, hiking, travelling or enjoying life with family and friends, you'll find her at her desk, writing. 
Her début novel, Exuberance, was released in both eBook and paperback formats in 2023.
With intelligence and sensitivity, this award-winning novel explores the complexities of living with a mental health condition, the transformative power of healing, and the need for balance and authenticity in our lives.
