It’s my novel’s first birthday! 🎂
It's release day!

This story began as a wee novella in the summer of 2020 when I needed a distraction from the world. Over the past four years, and countless revisions, it grew into this novel.

Available now: books2read.com/u/b6gJ26

Andry Hernandez Romero, the hairdresser Trump and Kristi Noem sent to CECOT, has a message to the American LGBTQ+ community "Here you have a Venezuelan brother who loves you, too. This fight will go on for a long time, but I know we will meet someday."

Nine years. Our hearts are with the victims, survivors, and all those forever changed by the Pulse tragedy on June 12, 2016. We stand with you in love and remembrance. #OrlandoStrong #WeWillNeverForget

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.

No one has heard from you in 43 days.

As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.
