About the work

Red-Handed came out as a screenplay first, and then developed into a novel. The first scene that came to my mind was the conversation that Louie and Rose had when he's at the airport. I could see the irony in what he claimed so strongly "he didn't want". So I started playing with the notion of getting exactly what you didn't want, but then it turns out to be exactly what you needed and you truly longed for. I loved the idea of having my characters bicker and dwell in the irony of how interested they were in each other's life, choices, and paths. It also gave the an opportunity to include familiar characters from my college years, and place these two main characters in the town I called home for four years.

About the creator

“My novels always have a little humor, a lot of sensibility and the common search for justice and healing between people. I have the privilege of speaking 2 languages fluently, and giving my work a slightly different tone in each. With a little more social and political load in my works in Spanish, unavoidably perhaps. ”

I started writing plays while I was in high school, for our local theater department. I did an adaptation of Cindirella, and then an original play. After that, during college, I kept my writing to myself. After reading "Yo" by Julia Alvarez, I questioned how much of the world around me filtered my work, and if I had the right to share it so publicly. I kept writing all along, saving my stories and drafts, and after many years of pondering, I published my first book, a novel "El Poder de las Palabras" and shortly thereafter. "Caught in Between: Why we are too connected to unplug, and too old-school to live online."

I have published over ten books by now, and have found that the more I write and encourage my creative process, the easier characters and stories flow. My first books in English were an attempt to share what I had learned about the use of technology, business, and entrepreneurship. But then, I remembered that the best way for us to learn is through storytelling. So I went back to writing fiction, and allowing my characters to connect with the reader with whatever they may learn from them.
