Stories of Resistance, Legacy & Imagination — From the Caribbean to the World
Hi readers,
If you’re new to my work (or wondering which of my books to dive into next), let me take you on a journey.
Each of my novels explores Caribbean life through a different lens—from generational family sagas and reimagined histories to stories pulsing with magic, revolution, and heart.
Here’s a quick guide to help you choose your next unforgettable read:
Redemption Songs
A Caribbean family saga of strength and survival
Meet a fierce female protagonist caught between tradition, betrayal, and love. This novel explores what we carry from one generation to the next—and what we fight to change.
Perfect for those who love historical fiction and strong female leads.
Friendship Estate
What if colonialism never happened?
This visionary novel reimagines a utopian Caribbean untouched by empire. It's a daring thought experiment that challenges the history we know—and invites us to dream bigger.
For readers who love speculative fiction and alternative histories.
I Am Cuba
Romance. Revolution. Magical Realism.
Set during the Cold War, this novel blends myth, politics, and passion across generations. Expect revolutionaries, love stories, and a bit of magic in every chapter.
A great pick if you enjoy sweeping, emotional, and cinematic stories.

All three novels are available now—and I’d love to hear which one speaks to you the most.
