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.
AWP is coming up in March and I am going to be attending the conference this year as well as reading at offsite events. Offsite events are open to the public and most events are free!
Here is my reading schedule:
Witches in the Woods
When: Thursday, March 28th
Time: 5pm to 7pm
Where: Secret Forest Books,
3561 SE Division St.,
Portland, OR 97202
About the event: “To celebrate AWP Portland 2019, Ayahuasca Publishing presents a very special offsite reading show: Witches in the Woods, hosted by Secret Forest Books! Featuring the talents of Hanna Tawater, Rios de la Luz, Katie Farris, and Lizz Huerta. There will also be tarot card readings available prior to and after the show. Join the coven and prepare for the ritual!” FB EVENT PAGE.
Happy 2019! I just wanted to make a quick update on the three writing workshops I will be teaching this winter.
On January 19th, I will be teaching in El Paso, TX at the Memorial Park Library. it will be a short and sweet workshop and I will be reading some of my fiction and non-fiction.
Happy Halloween to everyone! I dressed as the universe this past Saturday and tonight, I am going to be a witch. There’s thunder and lightning outside. It feels like the perfect weather for today. I want to document what I have done the past three months because I am super grateful for the opportunities and for the outpouring of love from other writers.
In August, I was the opening reader for Amber Tamblyn, who is an activist, a phenomenal author, and an actor. It was wonderful hearing her read and speak about her new book, ANY MAN.
My newest flash fiction piece is up in Issue #3 of WOHE LIT. Check out the past issues too! They have published wonderful fiction and poetry.
Recently, I have been working on experimental fiction and non-fiction pieces. I have compiled my new works into Interstellar Bruja Vol. 2. I wrote on break-ups, friendship, queerness, being brown and weird, trauma, and moving on from toxic people.

Hello everyone! I have a few updates regarding my first novella , ITZÁ. Also, I have updates on the dramas I have watched so far!
Itzá is officially out in the world ❤
You can get it on Amazon or my personal store, Interstellar Bruja
Here is what the Monique Quintana (Clash Media) had to say about Itzá:
“In this book, we meet Marisol, a girl and darkling who is becoming a water witch, inheriting the powers of her grandmother and great-grandmother. Marisol is a bruja who must grapple with sexual abuse and the realization that a woman’s body is a border and ultimately, it is she who contains its’ greatest power.”
I will be doing a few readings starting next week up until the end of October! I am very excited and hope to see some new faces in New Mexico, Texas and California.
