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.

Unveiling the Past: A Story of Redemption, Resilience, and the Devil Within


Promotional blog post image featuring a close-up portrait of a thoughtful young woman looking introspective. The graphic is headlined with 'NEW ON THE BLOG PODCAST WEDNESDAYS' and titled 'UNVEILING THE PAST: A STORY OF REDEMPTION, RESILIENCE, AND THE DEVIL WITHIN.' This sets the tone for a deep dive into themes of identity and resilience as discussed in the series 'The Devil that Haunts Them.' The website 'www.haveacupofjohanny.com' is prominently displayed, inviting readers to explore the gripping narrative and its complex characters.

Have you ever felt haunted by a past that refuses to stay buried? Join Joa on a gripping journey through “The Devil that Haunts Them,” a trilogy that grew from the seeds of a single manuscript. This season, I lay bare the transformation of “The Devil that Haunts Me” into a character-driven saga, revealing how astrology and emotional depth intertwine to create unforgettable narratives. As I did in “Mrs. Franchi’s Evil Ring,” the intricacies of human emotion and backstory take center stage, providing a window into the souls of Isabella, Julitza, and La Doña—each a testament to the resilience of different generations.

The heart of our discussion beats with the story of Isabela Ramirez in “Under the Flamboyan Tree,” a tale of self-discovery and atonement. Imagine carrying the weight of a dual identity and a love that borders on sacrifice, all while wrestling with the scales of a Libra in search of balance. Isabela’s path is littered with the shards of a shattered past: the tragic loss of a daughter, a marriage that’s both sanctuary and prison, and the relentless pursuit of redemption. Through her eyes, we confront our own devils, both literal and metaphorical, and seek the truth behind the veil of our actions. Join me as we traverse this emotional landscape, seeking the light of forgiveness and the hope of new beginnings.
