The Sleeping Sisters are Awaking… Preorder now.
My first novel Trinity Sight won the Southwest Book Award, and I am an NEA and PEN Emerging Voices fellowship recipient. A poet and novelist, I create Latina and Indigenous thrillers that overturn concepts of the borderlands and re-envision what’s possible in these liminal spaces. My protagonists are strong women who are transformed and, via magical realism, change the world around them.
About my work, The San Diego Union-Tribune writes: “We get to see what happens when a literary sorceress throws poetry, magic, motherhood and misogyny into a cauldron, turns up the genre heat and lets it all boil.”
“A triumph. One of the most masterful marriages of horror, mystery, thriller and literary writing that I’ve read in some time. And it is certainly a book that will haunt you (in a good way!) for a very long time after you’ve turned the final page.” —Los Angeles Times
