About

I’m a first generation Mexican-American and father of three wonderful boys. I’m currently writing and illustrating my first 80,000-word YA Sci-Fi novel, "Tricket: A Quest Unearthed." In a coming of age space series of books, I'm writing to tell stories with diverse characters that represent the Latin-X and LGBTQIA+ backgrounds. My story begins with a full of heart, bursting with pride, Mexican-Salvadorian boy named, Miah. He is chosen by a magical crystal that is come to be known as a TRICKET, that soon thrusts him into a journey across the cosmos. Along for the journey is his adventurous and silly younger brother Caleb, a determined uncle Baz, and the no hold bars aunt S'Zel (she/her). In a quest that leads Miah to discover and find his true self, lies a dark entity who also lays claim to the trickets power. Can Miah summon the courage to face such evil? Can he burden the heavy weight of saving a galaxy on the brink of collapse? He'll have to lean on his family and friends and dig deep within to fight off a treacherous evil that plans on shaping the universe as they know it. I’d be more than happy to send you my first few chapters for my book upon request, as I'm actively looking for a writer/Illustrator agent representation. Join me on my journey in this galaxy in supporting my story!Thank you!
