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.

Unmasking Myself: A Journey of Authenticity and Breaking Free from Societal Molds


A blog post graphic with a yellow background featuring white alstroemeria flowers and a lemon. A calendar showing the month of April is the focal point, with the title "Unmasking Myself: A Journey of Authenticity and Breaking Free from Societal Molds" for the Have A Cup Of Johanny Podcast above it.

Have you ever contorted yourself into someone you’re not just to be liked or fit in? Join me on a heartfelt journey as I peel back the layers of my past, revealing the self-imposed barriers that once stymied my journey through my 20s and 30s. We’re not just talking about growth; we’re actively breaking through the soil of conformity to bask in the sunlight of authenticity. Tune in as I bear my soul about the times I downplayed my passion for books, learning to meld into societal molds, and how I emerged from the chrysalis of self-compromise to a path of true self-discovery.

This month on Have a Cup of Johanny, it’s all about shedding pretenses and growing into our truest selves. I’m opening up about the awkward, necessary pivots that redirected my life trajectory. From concealing my love for literature to playing the ‘dumb but cute’ role, I’m laying out my past missteps and the profound realizations that followed. We’ll navigate the bumpy roads of personal evolution together through intimate reflections. So grab a cup of your favorite brew, and let’s share the wisdom gleaned from embracing who we truly are.
