Eeeee! Compared to La Maestra herself, Isabel Allende! Library Journal gave SALT BONES a starred review calling my "hard-to-put-down literary suspense" both "timely" and "creeping with dread" !!! I'm starry-eyed!⭐⭐⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Consider giving her a pre-order, because hot damn.

Even if you hated Eva in RWRD or felt like shaking her for her poor choices—you’ll still love Salt Bones’ Mal because, like my protagonists, I grow & don’t shrink or back down from a challenge but keep learning & pushing myself & rising🌵🌸🙌🏽💪🏽🕯️✨✨✨

My incredibly talented daughter always supports my work—for RWRD she painted a pumpkin with my book cover art and for SALT BONES, she’s sewn me a purple rebozo to match the cover!

We baddies genre-bleed. We fever-dream.🍊🌵🌸
“A poetic mystery carved from the sinews of our flawed humanity. SALT BONES’ Mal may mean 'bad,' but she's as good as a protagonist gets. Magical & messy, fierce but flawed, tough yet tender, you’ll root for her from the first page to the last.” –Rudy Ruiz

How many of us are poets from neurodivergence? My family played a game on Christmas Eve, the name escapes me. Madlibs, fill-in-the-blank-esque. I heard hole. I wrote what I wrote. When we showed our cards, everyone else’s was North and they stared at me, aghast.
Mine was ass. The word was pole. 😱🤣
