The Ordinary Bruja

For fans of Mexican Gothic and The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina, The Ordinary Bruja is a psychological horror and magical realism novel about grief, ancestral secrets, Dominican brujería, and one woman’s fight to reclaim the magic her family tried to bury.

When strange messages appear in mirrors, and the scent of cigar smoke follows her through her small Ohio hometown, Marisol Espinal must confront the ghosts of her past, the truth about her mother’s death, and the family curse waiting for her on Hallowthorn Hill.

Her family buried the magic. Now it wants out.

Let’s Talk About Me


I am a girl who loves a challenge, so I am participating in Womanpulse Blog Crazy 4 Blogging Challenge.

We are in Week 2 which means that I have to tell you 5 Things About Me.

If you want to read, last week’s challenge click here.
Thing 1: I love wine, as a matter of fact I am super relaxed at the moment, after having my after-dinner glass.  I love red wine, I figure I am sweet enough as it is, so red dry will do for me no sweet wine, please.  I adore the wines from Napa Valley.

Thing 2: I love to run.  If you read the last week challenge post, you would know this already…Running it’s my go-to exercise, because it is super easy and doesn’t require any equipment.  I am not the fastest runner out there, but I do have a lot of heart and stamina, I will not quit!
Thing 3: I have super curly hair, but I wish at times that it was bone straight.  You know that thing about wanting what you don’t have, well that’s me.  When I was younger, I thought that the Pantene shampoo would make my hair straight because the models on the commercial had straight hair.  So, I washed my hair with Pantene, went to bed with my hair fanned on my bed and woke up with a soft-fro.  I was utterly disappointed, but at least my sister had a good laugh.

Thing 4: I love self-help books, hell I love to read period!  I’m on a quest for growth and progression, and I believe that books are just dripping with knowledge just waiting to be tapped by welcoming minds and hands willing to act upon those bright ideas.  That’s me!  I love getting my hands on a book, learning new things and putting those things into practice.
Thing 5: I am not afraid of being an outsider.  I have never fitted in as a young child, and I stopped trying a long time ago.  I tend to be awkward, an oddball and I say what I mean (I don’t have a filter).  Some people find me funny, others don’t, either way, I love myself.  I read in my organizational behavior book that this is not so bad because at least I can make unbiased managerial decisions. Since I have a very low level of social affiliation, I am not afraid of making the tough choices.  I always thought I was awesome, this confirmed it.
