About the work
Lo Que Nos Une is the second part to El Poder de Las Palabras, the first novel I wrote and published back in 2018. My main characters showed up while I was driving and listening to news about politics in my country. I thought, are they all really toxic, bad and corrupt? Would I even be able to spot a good one if I found him? So... I played with that idea, what happens if you meet a great guy, but it turns out that he's a politician? Who could be the most opposite from him? An artist maybe? And that's how the main plot unfolded. However, as I wrote the story, I noticed the familiarity in my main character, coming from another story... That's when I knew who she was and her connection to El Poder de las Palabras, and how I would make it clear in this new story.

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.
