"I'm Having an Affair With My Wife!" is my baller romcom screenplay about a married couple who get fed up with each other, seek out affairs online, and accidentally end up matched up again with each other. It's like the Pina Colada song meets "You've Got Mail," and it's nominated for an "I See You" Award, placed in the top 15 percent of scripts at the Austin Film Festival, a Beverly Hills Screenwriting Competition Finalist, and generally rad. The first US romcom in 17 years to star a Black woman and an East-Asian American man, the story's gained popularity on the Seed&Spark crowdfunding campaign, where I'm giving away poetry and books to backers.

Award-Nominated #Blasian RomCom Movie

A Puerto Rican engineering student battles Multiple Sclerosis--and experiments with dangerous body modifications. A girl in a red hijab leaps into the flames of a rotting convenience store--to save someone who hates her. An Asian-American 9th-grader catches a doctor poisoning his city's water supply to "cure" cancer. An Irish-American kid scarred by his alcoholic father turns his own broken, twisted psychology into a super-weapon. A restless Black girl from the South uncovers a human trafficking ring, and as she navigates the complexities of police-victim relationships, she roots out a conspiracy that could change her planet forever.

This neurodiverse, ethnically open anthology uncovers the origins of the Guardian superhero team from the highly-anticipated Becoming Hero comic-within-a-novel. Based on real teen struggles, these stories follow the team's creation as new heroes are born, built, broken, and forged.

Origins – The Guardian Anthology

Whipping the Dead tells the dream-like story of a young girl, her Japanese poetry, and her 1991 Dodge Cargo Van in the Blue Ridge Mountains, where she discovers a home where the dead are held captive. It's a tribute to memory (Hence the Greek goddess, Mnemosyne) formulated after the Fibonacci sequence. Each "But" interrupting sentence follows a number of paragraphs increasing according to the sequence, a bit like a prose-style Villanelle gone overly mathematical. Pick up a copy on Amazon.

Whipping the Dead

Carl's a Puerto Rican engineering student struggling to hide his Multiple Sclerosis so he can keep working to earn enough to put himself through school. As his disease progresses, that becomes impossible--but when he invents a solution to his weakness, he soon discovers he's not the only person who could use it.

Hierro, by me, is one of the short stories in the upcoming superhero anthology by The Crossover Alliance, a small publisher committed to marrying spirituality with dark fiction. They're tired of weak "inspirational" fiction that avoids cursing and hardcore topics in the name of God--they want to deal with the real world and its real problems, while still putting unabashed faith front and center.
