کتاب The Norton Anthology of Poetry 5th

I’m a Native American writer, born in and raised around San Antonio. I’m deeply rooted in and now live in the vibrant heart of Texas. My life is centered around God, my family and—as I affectionately refer to writing—”telling lies.” After all, isn’t that what we, as fiction writers, endeavor to do?

We craft intricate worlds, breathe life into characters, and then spoon-feed them to our readers, hoping they lose themselves, if only momentarily, in the fabricated realities we create. And, maybe—just maybe—for a brief period of time, they forget about life for a while. I have an unwavering love for reading and cinema, each book I devour unfolding like a film in my mind. Vivid and animated.

I love watching movies. When reading a book, I expect it to come alive for me on the pages; unravelling much like a movie in my mind. When I write, I strive to transpose the cinematic tapestry of my imagination onto paper.
