about me

I'm a Latina American author that resides in the Pacific Northwest. My genres are comedy, literary fiction, and magic realism. I started writing in a new genre I call "green fiction"--short fiction mainly with eco-friendly themes, alternative spirituality, and comic magic realism.

Thank you to all those who supported "Agnes et Yves" during the past two years. I removed the chapters from this website. And I finally self-published at http://www.createspace.com/3713611

Your character development is so defined that I feel like I'm meeting Pearl and Charlie in real life, real time. Their voices seem so natural as they describe their circumstances without giving too much away.
