My debut Epic Fantasy is out!
WHISPERS OF EMBERSTONES is about how the actions of those in power, driven by their biases, create chaos and destruction for everyone.
You’ll love it if you’re a fan of:
High Fantasy
Fast paced High-stakes adventure
What if... while investigating the smoke shrouding the haunted forests, you accidentally trigger the city’s dormant volcano? With nowhere to run, your city and everyone in it faces total destruction... (ooops) 🫣
Whispers of Emberstones comes out September 23!
#epicfantasybook
Just one month until release day!!!
Three cities, divided by sentient mountains, face their worst nightmare when smoke stirs from the haunted peaks. Leader’s reaction plunges the main characters into chaos, forcing them to sacrifice the unthinkable.
This year Im reading with purpose thanks to @readswithrachel.bsky.social bookclub…
Banned books are often amplify marginalized voices & question harmful systems.
In a time when books—especially those by marginalized authors—are being banned more than ever, reading them is an act of resistance.

It feels surreal to call myself an author and to be in this in-between—waiting for the book release. Part of me wants to release it now, but I know it needs time—to be marketed right, to build anticipation. My epic fantasy book launches Sept 23. While I’m excited, I’m also anxious.

Villainous Awakening

One reviewer on goodreads once said of this book "The book is racist, liberal, cop-hating propaganda."
Since it's publication, people have been trying to ban The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas and many schools and public libraries have been age restricting it to 18+. Let's discuss.

This book unveils PR true past and challenges. A lot of current history comes from the perspective of the colonizer, shaping how we see ourselves, our struggles, and our future. It centers the voices of those who lived, resisted, & paid the price to exist. #puertorico

As a kid, I wanted to find characters who looked like me in the stories I loved—but they were hard to find. That’s why I wrote WHISPERS OF EMBERSTONES —to create the representation I wished I had. A world of fantasy, adventure, and magic, where characters like me could thrive. Representation matters
