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.

Johanny Ortega

I’m Johanny Ortega, but you can call me Joa. My world revolves around the magical realm of books, a passion ignited by my Abuela’s enchanting storytelling sessions in the Dominican Republic. These early memories of being lost in tales and fables laid the foundation for my lifelong love affair with reading and writing. As a book blogger, I review books and give a glimpse into my writing journey. My podcast is a one woman show that is filled with vulnerable and sometimes embarrasing stories of when I got something wrong and what I did to learn from it. My writing journey, under the names Johanny Ortega and J.E. Ortega, spans middle-grade fiction to adult thrillers, each book a new adventure, where I climb on the shoulders of a Dominican character and go along for the ride. I’m not just an author; I’m an advocate for diversity and inclusion in literature. I believe that every book is a window and a mirror, offering us a glimpse into lives different from our own, while also reflecting our personal experiences. My mission is to champion books that celebrate this diversity, giving voice to the marginalized and oppressed. Join me in this literary odyssey, where every page turned is a step into another world, another life, another adventure. Let’s discover together the stories that make us dream, think, and above all, connect us to each other.
