Yezanira is excited to continue to be a champion for authors in the Latine community. Her interests in fiction are romance, horror, mystery/thrillers, LGBTQ+ stories, and she’s particularly interested in the exploration of cross-genres, specifically romance-horror. For nonfiction, she’s interested in family dynamics, true crime, and the struggles and empowerment of the Latine community.
