We Could Always Begin Again is a story about letting go, about unconditional love, and—above all—about a family not bound by blood.

This novel will be available on my patreon!

I may end up doing this in a different style. I'm already making changes to this story. This is for my character sheet. Originally I drew both of these character separately but they kind of go together.

Oh yeah and I also have some art! I don't have any sketches easily accessible since my computer died, but I do have a final I finished recently!

A4: Part 4

I’m a Furniture Designer; years of CAD experience.

All of my Guadalupe illustrations will start in CAD. Then I’ll use photo editing, collage, and graphic design programs.

All are self-taught! If you have an imagination, you could be an illustrator!

A4: Part 2

When my brother died 30 years ago, I started writing “our series” in my head.

I’d like other youth to see themselves in these stories WHEN they are published!

A1: Part 3

The books are in rhyme. My “mentors” were composers of musicals who have fun with imaginative word play [Porter, Sondheim, Hammerstein].

I wanted folks to have fun while reading about

Most will learn new words [thumbs up!].

A1: Part 1

The books are based on my relationship with Pepito!

I found him when he was young, and injured. His social media fans demanded regular updates, so I have many videos of him, and his adventures!

I have 2 board books illustrated by Elina Braslina forthcoming Fall 21 from . Here are covers (& spreads from Spanish edition), but no links yet.

Both feature same-sex parents but are not about that, they're just fun nighttime/morning adventures with pets.
