Hello, Goodreads! I’ve Just Published My Third Book

So… I’ve just published my third novel, I AM CUBA. I figured I’d start with a little introduction about me and my books.

My literary journey began in 2015 with Redemption Songs, a gripping Caribbean family saga that introduced readers to a strong and determined female protagonist. It was my way of honoring the women I grew up with—women who held families together through both the ordinary and the extraordinary.

Next came Friendship Estate, a novel that dared to ask, “What if?” It offered a provocative, utopian alternative to the bitter legacies of colonialism—a subject that continues to fascinate (and haunt) me.

And now, I Am Cuba is out in the world! This latest book weaves together generational stories set against the backdrop of the Cold War. It’s a blend of action, adventure, romantic fantasy, and a dash of magical realism—which, I’ve come to realize, is becoming something of a trademark in my writing.

At the heart of all my stories are women with agency—resilient, powerful, and deeply human. I love exploring the boundary between the real and the imagined, and I always hope my stories spark meaningful conversation. If you're reading one of my books and find yourself asking big questions—that’s exactly the point.

Growing up in the Caribbean taught me that society is far more complex than the history books often admit. That complexity has given my imagination endless room to roam.

Anyway, that’s me in a nutshell. I’d love to hear from you—what kind of genres do you love to read? Any books or authors you keep coming back to?
