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 ancestor buried the magic. Now it wants out.

Join me in Los Angeles for LATINAFest at the Metro: Arte, Libros y Cultura, a celebration of Latino art, literature, culture, and community!

I’ll be there as an author with signed copies of my books, including The Ordinary Bruja. Come stop by my table, talk books with me, and discover stories rooted in family, culture, ancestral memory, magic, and the things that refuse to stay buried.

LATINAFest brings together authors, artists, poets, performers, food, folklórico dancers, children’s author readings, book signings, and more for an afternoon celebrating the richness and creativity of the Latino community.
