Yesterday, something big happened: I finally created a landing page for The Ordinary Bruja on my website.

I know, I know. To some, it might seem like a small tech thing. But for me, it was a huge emotional milestone. It took me two days, by the way, to deal with my theme, templates, and understanding how to create and attach one to a page. For some, this may be easy—but for me, it was not. And I thought it fitting that I would struggle, because Marisol in The Ordinary Bruja does as well. She wrestles with the unseen parts of herself, trying to carve space in a world that keeps trying to define her. My tech frustrations mirrored her emotional ones. We were both, in our own ways, learning to take up space.

Now this story—my story—has its own digital casita. A space carved out just for it. And in a way, it feels like I claimed space, too.

Creating this page wasn’t just about layout or links. It was a moment of saying: This book matters. It deserves more than a placeholder or a passing mention. It deserves a spotlight, a welcome mat, a front door. And now it has one.

Why This Page Means So Much

The Ordinary Bruja has lived in my bones for a long time. Through character sketches, chaotic drafts, midnight edits, and early morning writing sessions with cafecito in hand. Through every moment I doubted myself. Through every time I wondered if there was space in the world for stories like this—stories rooted in brujería, Christianity, identity, belonging, and the quiet rebellion of reclaiming your truth.

Now it’s not just a manuscript sitting in a folder. It’s not just an idea I carry in my head. It’s real and shareable. And it has a home.

What You’ll Find on the Page

If you visit the page, you’ll find:

• A haunting quote that captures the book’s soul
• A teaser about Marisol’s journey and what’s at stake
• A request link for ARC readers who want early access
• A peek at the cover and the mood that inspired it
• More details being added soon as we get closer to release!

This is more than a book. It’s a story about spiritual duality, cultural inheritance, and reclaiming the magic we were told to forget. I’m so proud to finally give it the home it deserves.

Want to help? Check out the page, request an ARC, and share it with someone who needs a reminder that they are powerful, seen, and never alone.
