Upcoming Events

Hello everyone,

Here’s a quick update on upcoming events I will be a part of starting in June! I have been taking a break since my long trip to Portland in March. I finally feel my energy back in balance so I can focus on my creative pursuits and all the work that goes into self-promotion as an indie author.

I am going to join some incredible writers in June for the LatinX Writers Showcase at Café Mayapan in El Paso, Tx. The event starts at 7pm.

Itzá Review in Word Riot

Thanks so much to Laura Diaz de Arce for this gorgeous review of Itzá.

Itzá is not censored, nor does it hold itself back. It follows generations of water witches, shifting through time and narration while doing so. The book itself is a difficult read—not only because of its subject matter, but also because the language is deliberately poetic. The narrative moves around, and with short chapters, the focus jumps from one anecdote to another in rapid succession. It’s difficult to parse what is lyrical embellishment, what are fantastical elements, and what is “real” to the story. But the result is wonderfully organic, beautiful, and heart-aching.”
