Cesar Arboleda immigrated as a young boy from Colombia, South America, to Lowell, Massachusetts, where his love for imagination and storytelling first began to take root. A proud American citizen, husband, and father, Cesar believes deeply in the quiet magic found in unexpected places, the kind that brings families together through wonder and warmth.

​

Frankie the Ghost Train is his first children’s book, inspired by a bedtime story he once told his sons, Jackson and Luca. What began as a nightly tale shared with laughter and curiosity has now become a story for all families to enjoy — a celebration of courage, kindness, and the power of imagination.

Beyond writing, Cesar is co-owner of LaBelle Winery in New Hampshire and the founder of Acre Publishing, a creative platform dedicated to bringing meaningful stories to life. He is married to Amy LaBelle, winemaker and co-owner of LaBelle Winery, and together they continue to build businesses and projects that reflect their shared passion for creativity, community, and inspiration.
