About María

I write for the parts of myself I’d honestly rather ignore. The uncomfortable pieces that live in the shadows but still insist on running the show. Think of it as a roll-call for all my internal red flags. These are the things we aren’t supposed to talk about, but make for much better stories anyway.

My work wanders through grief, loss, and the messy mechanics of love.

My writing isn’t gentle. It’s demanding, heartbreaking, and occasionally, a little vicious. My work forces me to look closer at the ugly stuff, and I quite enjoy dragging my readers down with me. Consider each piece an invitation to look your own shadow in the eyes.

I believe the most beautiful things come from the dark. Within the darkness lies the truest essence of who we are.

I write for myself, and I write for you. Somewhere along the way, it becomes a mirror. One that reflects what we carry, what we hide, and what we might finally be ready to see.

My roots are in San Juan, Puerto Rico, but my current camp is set in Hollywood, FL. I live with my wife in a house overrun by books, flowers, animals, and ghosts, as my life continues to unravel into what it’s meant to become.
