As a dark fiction author, I’ve always been drawn to the possibilities of the unseen world. I’m particularly interested in the legends and folklore of Latin American countries, which are packed with stories of monsters and creatures that lurk in the shadows of society. In La Siguanaba, I explore these tales and use them to create a thrilling and suspenseful narrative.
My goal was to gain a deeper understanding of these communities’ cultures and worldviews and see how their beliefs shape the stories they tell. I was fascinated by the themes of resilience, strength, courage, and hope that permeate the tales, and I intend to capture these in La Siguanaba.
In my writing, I seek to explore the depths of the unseen world and bring its mysteries to life. I want to capture the feeling of being surrounded by the unknown and evoke an atmosphere of mystery and suspense. By exploring the unknown, I believe I can create a captivating narrative and a unique experience for readers.
I’m excited to share my works with a broader audience and hope to bring this tale of Latin American folklore to life. I’m confident that readers will be enthralled by the story of La Siguanaba and captivated by the hidden secrets of the unseen world.
“I wanted to briefly touch on the deeper conflicts going on during this conquest, such as the rape of the local women, and the demonization of the native spiritual traditions by the Catholic church.”
