This is my latest book and the most personal. This is a memoir and adventure book. It talks of my husband and my first year together after getting married. The book shares about life in the Amazon river and it has lots of information about indigenous people and the rainforest itself including the wildlife we encountered within it, while we were navigating the river on our boat. We spent that year traveling the amazon in an atmosphere of joy and love as newlyweds. The book shares some of the wonder of our natural world that is currently in danger. Our story is a testament to youth, love, adventure, and courage. The Spanish version of this book will be coming out soon.
My inspiration to write Coffee: The FIRST CUP, a bilingual picture book (English/Spanish), began with the coffee plantation my grandmother ran, and the lattes I’ve enjoyed since my childhood in a tropical country. Although no one knows when coffee began, it is mentioned in texts from a 1.000 years ago, while one account dates its first use to the early 1600s, Coffee’s mysterious origins drew me to research legends about coffee’s origin and possible connection to ancient monasteries. Tracing the popular legend behind this book. I was impressed by these monasteries and the calligraphy the monks used. Their beautiful work made it a joy to produce the artwork and tell my version of the legend in the pages of Coffee: The First Cup

This is a bilingual fantasy book that will ignite your imagination to dream. I was inspired to write this story while watching dragonflies flying in such a wild way, that I thought they looked “hyper.” No one around me seemed to pay any attention to their “manners” when they passed by flying so close over their heads. This happened at a park at lunchtime some time ago. You will enjoy the mystical part that is woven into the story. This book is bilingual (Spanish/English).
