✨ IT’S FINALLY HERE! ✨

Today my debut novel, CHLOE VEGA AND THE AGENTS OF MAGIC, is officially out in the world!

I think it’s no secret this has been a very difficult year for Latines, so this book coming out now feels really pre-destined. I wrote this for the kids who need a little light in a very scary world.

So if you have kids or little siblings who would enjoy a story about a Mexican American girl going to a magic school to reunite her family after being separated, grab this book for them! I’m so excited to share this story I’ve been crafting in my mind since I was 5 with all of you 🥹

And thank you to everyone who has supported me on this journey, your encouragement means the world to me! And I want to give a HUGE shout out to my agent @trinicasampsonvera and my editor Carolina Ortiz for helping me get this story to where it is today, couldn’t have been able to do it without you!

📚 Available now wherever books are sold! All links are in my bï0 ❤️

And for those of you coming to my launch event this Saturday, I’ll see you there! It’s free to attend and all the info is in my bï0 😊

CHLOE VEGA AND THE MISSING UNSEEN IS OFFICIALLY OUT TODAY! 🎉

I’m feeling an overwhelming sense of gratitude because I’ve been given the opportunity to tell a story like this. I was so scared y’all, so scared it wouldn’t sell when it was on sub because of its themes surrounding immigration.

For this series to be out in the world, ESPECIALLY in the times we’re living in, is so surreal and amazing. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART to everyone who has been and will continue to shout about this series from the rooftops. I cannot wait to meet and celebrate with you all during tour (please look at my page for details about that!) and continue writing and sharing my stories with the world that I hope bring positive change.

Although I can’t talk about what I’m doing next (*wink* *wink*), I can say I’ll keep telling stories about my community. That is my promise to my readers. Regardless of whether I switch genres, let it be known that my stories will always tackle some sort of problem facing the Latine community and those who surround them. This is ONLY THE BEGINNING! I cannot wait 🫶🏼

HUGE thank you to my editor, Carolina and the team @harperkids, my agent, @trinicasampsonvera, my publicists, Layne and Angelle at @booksforwardpr, and so many more people who can’t possibly fit in one post!Appreciate you always!

“I tell you everything. I’ve opened up to you in ways I’ve never done with anyone else. I thought you did the same. Joke’s on me for being wrong.”

The teens are fighting y’all. Sorry not sorry. You’re going to have to read CHLOE VEGA AND THE MISSING UNSEEN to find out why 😉

But also can we just take a moment to admire @majuandrad’s utter TALENT! They completely surpassed my expectations! When I saw the sketch, the first thing that went through my mind was, “Damn… the Chloe Vega series would look FIRE as graphic novels.” 🔥🔥 seriously! I’m floored!!! Thank you @majuandrad for giving Chloe and Jason some time to shine!

If you don’t know me…
