I Need Some Help with The Forgotten Bruja

The Forgotten Bruja is coming in Spring 2027, and I need some help from this kick-ass community.

Book Cover Reveal. Do you have a social media platform (big or small) to share The Forgotten Bruja’s book cover on?

BETA READER. Do you want to help me shape the novel? Are you an avid gothic horror reader who can sense and articulate when a novel is good or bad? You can help.

ARC READER. Do you want to be the first to get the final version of the book before it goes on sale and leave a review so others can find and love on the book?

Start with The Ordinary Bruja

After her mother’s death, Marisol Espinal returns to her childhood home in Willowshade, Ohio, expecting grief, old memories, and maybe a few ghosts. Instead, she uncovers a buried family legacy, a magic tied to her Dominican ancestry, and a darkness that has fed on generations of Espinal women. To survive, Marisol must face the one thing she has spent her life avoiding: herself.
