Some books mean more to me than others. Some of my books are lesser known because they don't have commercial appeal. Some books hit harder and talk about the darker subjects some authors shy away from. This is one of those books. But this book has also won an @indieverseawards in 2024 for Best Thriller. It's a story of survival. Of murdeฬ€r. Of never giving up. Of keeping going no matter what. Of friendship. Of enemies to lovers. Of the tough choices we are sometimes forced to make. JINX is a book that speaks to its readers long after you've finished it. I hope you enjoy it. Available now on Amazon on eBook, KU, paperback and narrated on audio by @candacefitzgeraldvo Remember. You survived for a reason.

As we come up to the last few weeks before voting begins, I think it's time to scream about this again (because it still feels quite surreal)! A FORGOTTEN LEGEND is nominated in the 2026 @indieverseawards in four different categories, including Best Fantasy!! A little over a year ago, A Forgotten Legend released into the world. AFL is my debut published novel, so although I hoped it would find its' readers and I hoped people would connect with this broken world and antihero characters, it was just that: a hope. Y'all blew my wildest dreams completely out of the water. In the time since release, I've met so many wonderful readers that connected with this book, AFL has been nominated for awards including nine categories in the Indie Ink Awards and four categories in the Indieverse Awards, people have drawn fanart of my characters, and readers have emailed and DMed me out of the blue letting me know how much this story means to them ๐Ÿฅบ None of this would've been possible at all without you. The readers, the fellow authors, the reviewers, the bookstore owners, the artists, and all the other wonderful people I'm beyond grateful for everyday ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ–ค Go check out the Indieverse Awards' site and check out the other wonderful nominees, pick up some new-to-you books, and if you haven't read AFL yet, be sure to grab that too! :) #Bookstagram #bookawards #indiebooks #darkfantasybooks #lgbtqbooks

September is Blood Cancer Awareness Month, and starting September 15, it is Latine & Hispanic Heritage Month. Why does it matter for me that both overlap? As a Greek Latina writer, and Blood Cancer / Lymphoma survivor, it feels even more urgent for me to mention so I can support mi comunidad and advocate for better care. Writing has always been the most notable way that I can express myself and what matters to me. I know it can be difficult for mi Latine comunidad to get health care, even more now than ever. Going through cancer treatments is more than the physical impacts, but also mental impacts that last long after the treatments end, if they do. It helps me to know this from my own experience of struggling with physical and mental challenges during and after treatments. I still donโ€™t know how I pulled through. Somehow I did through mental health resources I was able to find and work with me to get what I needed at the right moments. Even with the knowledge of what has worked for me, I continue to struggle to write until I find ways to receive the care my body needs and work through different strategies. If I didnโ€™t, I wouldnโ€™t have my latest books, including my poetry books. I wrote these poetry books to help me get through difficult hardships. When I couldnโ€™t write, making visual art was another outlet for me. It helped me keep going. It has made me truly understand the value in therapeutic art practice, especially for cancer patients and survivors. Iโ€™m truly thankful. I hope my books help you in someway. It already has for readers to understand and relate to in some way. And my latest poetry book, PONDERING REFLECTIONS, has been @indieverseawards nominated. I hope you will also support, in anyway you can, @bloodcancerunited. This organization provides resources to help all who are impacted by Blood Cancers, like Lymphoma. They have continued to help me beyond my diagnosis in 2022. I will always support them and all their work to help mi comunidad. Donโ€™t forget to support year round my fellow Latine writers, especially those who are part of @amigasreadergroup. Y gracias to @cristina.yunlee for continuing to inspire me to tell my story.
