I’m the author of the collection Fantasmas: Puerto Rican Tales of the Dead (CV Publishing, 2020), the novel Contraband (Rebel Satori, 2010), and other works of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. My writing appears in anthologies such as Crashing Cathedrals: Edmund White by the Book (ITNA, 2019) and Fever Spores: The Queer Reclamation of William S. Burroughs (Rebel Satori, 2022). My spiritual memoir, Taking Refuge in the Fire: Purification Through Creative Presence, is forthcoming from Rebel Satori Press in 2026.
