This excerpt started a heated debate on my TikTok and eventually resulted in me writing a whole book. Do you think your parents should babysit your kids? #booktok #family

people from the USA are always telling me my English is so good, and my English is so impressive. I got tired of it and made a t shirt for myself. going to put it online in case anyone else relates. brat-themed, of course: www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1668...

I explored both my religion and culture with this book, a retelling of the Costa Rican “La Segua” myth. La Segua is a cursed woman who 🔪🔪🔪 cheating men. In my version, she is explaining why she hunts men and not women. Link: www.amazon.ca/Honest-Men-O...

something I dont see talked about a lot is how quickly the trending tab on twitter became useless. maybe bc im not in the USA, but it's not even all in the same language for me (im in Costa Rica so you'd think it would be in Spanish?)

long time follower J D Paul went on a shopping spree on my kofi page, where many of my books are “pay what you want.” I also offer blogging tips and breakdowns on successful posts. Thank you so much! #booksky

My top rated book is about Americans living illegally in Costa Rica. If you were ever curious about expat life, or if you’re thinking of moving to costa rica after the Trump win, this is the (cynical) book for you: tinyurl.com/2edufpm5
