Writing The Starless Series and Beyond
Pull up a chair, I want to tell you a story and talk about why I wrote The Starless Series.
As a sex therapist and avid reader, I was tired of reading about the same female character over and over again. You know what I’m talking about: the one that can’t do anything for herself once love walks in the door. Not to mention the same character that needs to be saved even though she claims to be independent and self-sufficient. I wanted to see myself represented in works of fiction and I wanted to cheer on badass Latinas who were not only doing it for themselves but still let love be a part of their life in a healthy and realistic way.
I also wanted to change the discussion about mental health. It gets a bad rap in the media and definitely in popular works of fiction. As a therapist, I saw what it’s like first hand and wanted to bring a realistic view of what happens when someone’s world is turned upside down either by the coming of aliens or every day stressors.
So I got to work on creating an epic feminist science fiction series, @thestarlessseries and MOONLIT. It’s not just about the book or writing, it’s the message of change, Hope, and awareness that sparks discussion among my readers, which I adore tremendously—they’re the reason this series is so popular and grows daily 🖤🖤🖤 If this sounds like your cup of tea, join us and let’s keep reaching for the stars together! 😍
