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.

Crafting Characters and Sagas in the Vibrant Month of May


The image you’ve uploaded appears to be a promotional graphic for your podcast episodes in May. It features a striking red Flamboyant tree against a beach backdrop, which ties in beautifully with the sun-kissed shores of the Dominican Republic mentioned in your script. The bold text announces "Crafting Characters and Sagas in the Vibrant Month of May" above your website URL, inviting viewers to explore more content on your blog. It’s a visually appealing and on-point teaser for your storytelling theme this month! If you want to use this image across social platforms or need different variations, remember to adapt the size and layout to meet each platform's specifications for best results.

Embark with me on a transformative journey where the lush landscape of personal growth becomes our playground. As the vibrant month of May ushers in new life, I unveil the intricacies of ‘The Devil that Haunts Me,’ a tale that’s matured into a compelling trilogy. With each page turned and character fleshed out, I delve into the essence of storytelling, exposing the core truths that anchor my fiction from rewriting my children’s novel ‘Mrs. Franchy’s Evil Ring and the Six Months that Changed Everything’ an astounding ten times, to meticulously crafting character dossiers, I am committed to honing narratives that resonate with authenticity and depth.

This episode also transports you to the sun-kissed shores of the Dominican Republic, where the ‘Unde The Flamboyant Tree’ awaits. Witness Isabella’s poignant reconnection to her roots through a sentient tree that whispers her family’s saga. Together, we navigate the interplay of history, family, and self-discovery that dances across the genres, shaping a story as rich as the soil from which it springs. As the curtains draw close, I extend a heartwarming thank you for your fellowship in this storytelling expedition. I am eager to hear your thoughts and reconvene next Wednesday for another chapter in our collective narrative.
