Soledad and the Curse of the Phoenix

Big announcement!

The moment I have been waiting for has finally arrived! I am so excited and very overjoyed to announce that I will have a middle grade novel published by Chicken Scratch Books on November 4, 2025.

Here is the cover art created by a talented artist named Timothy James Hantula. I Absolutely love how he depicted the main character!

It is a lower middle grade fantasy adventure story based in a Mesoamerican-like imaginative world of my own creation that builds hope and courage rising from destruction. I can’t wait to share more about his upcoming release in the weeks ahead.

Here is the back cover blurb:

Soledad is a victim of the Phoenix’s evil plagues, just like the rest of her former village. But she’s also different. She’s hiding with her mother’s flute, which the Phoenix is determined to find.

After a friend’s betrayal, she flees along a new path, high into the mountains, where she discovers the truth about what has really happened to her people. She realizes her knowledge, together with the power of the water and the magic of the flute, can help them all.

But this realization brings a whole new danger. Before she can unite her people and face the Phoenix, Soledad will have to find the strength to forgive and learn again how to trust.
