For over twenty years, I worked as a professor of literature and most of my published work is in the academic field. My specialization in the African diaspora literature of the Americas provides background material for my novel-in-progress. "Revolutions: from La Habana to Harlem" combines historical drama with a coming-of-age story about an AfroCuban family who is fractured by the Cuban Revolution and the social upheaval of the 1960s. I left academia to devote myself to writing this novel and have immersed myself in the craft, including undertaking a course in structural editing. I was born in Cuba.
