I was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico.  I have a bachelor's degree in English from the University of Puerto Rico. I went to graduate school at Indiana University where I completed two Master's Degrees: one in Library Science and another in Comparative Literature. My master's research project was about Naturalism in France, Spain and Puerto Rico with a major emphasis on the works of Manuel Zeno Gandia.  I worked for many years as a librarian doing reference work and cataloging. I worked at University of Texas, A&A and at University of Phoenix, PR Campus. I also taught Humanities and  basic and advanced  Spanish language composition  to undergraduate adult students. I am interested in film studies, mythology and comparative religion.  I am an avid reader of science fiction, fantasy and the classics.
