I didn’t expect a TV show to feel like my poems. But then I watched TOO MUCH. And something clicked. This loud, chaotic, deeply flawed series about two hurting people who can’t stop colliding. It mirrored so much of what’s been living quietly inside my writing these past 69 days. The rawness. The contradictions. The …
Today I posted my 50th poem. Halfway through this wild, tender, surprising thing called An Author and Her Dog: 100 Days of Inspirational Words. What started as a challenge has become something far more meaningful. It’s not just about the writing anymore—it’s about the resonance. When I started, I had 156 followers. Today, I have …
I imagined it differently. A quiet, slow-motion moment. Me, holding the first printed copy of my book—the one I dreamed of for over a decade. Not the actual book print. But my first 350 pages printout anyway. Maybe a little music playing in the background. Maybe a soft smile. A deep breath. Instead, I got… …
I didn’t write The Last Girl on Earth for 14 years. But I’ve carried the weight of this story since around 2010. It started with a different story entirely. In 2006, I wrote a cheeky satire called Maria or the Last Single—a tongue-in-cheek take on dating in the big city when all you want is …

I didn’t go viral.Most of my videos didn’t even break 300 views.But I still call it a win. Because I learned more about showing up — …
If you ever meet her, you’ll understand instantly: Miss Monroe is no ordinary dog. She’s a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with more personality than most people I know. She’s emotional, expressive, funny, sensitive—and, frankly, a little bit of a drama queen. And she’s my muse and my heart. When people talk about their pets, they …
I never thought I’d speak on the internet. In English. With my real voice. And yet, here I am – a YA author pretending to have one million followers while my dog licks my face mid-shot. This is not the dystopian future I imagined. And yet, it kind of is. When I started writing The …
You’d think with German precision and Spanish passion, I’d be writing in one of those languages—but nope, here I am, typing away in English! I was born in Germany to very Spanish parents. My mother, a Spanish teacher with a big love for cooking, whips up everything from elegant dinners to ‘basic’ Spanish staples like …
It was 2010 when nostalgia hit, and I found myself re-watching one of my all-time favorite series: Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I can’t recall the exact moment, but somewhere in one of those episodes, a spark ignited. That spark was the seed for The 23rd Pair, the Young Adult book I’m currently writing. From that …
