Both have been staged in Chicago by Aguijon Theater. My articles, reviews and short stories have appeared in Rosebud, Latino Today, Afro-Hispanic Review, Baquiana, La Peregrina, Letras Femeninas, El Nuevo Herald, The Taos News, Más New Mexico and other publications. I have implemented a creative writing workshop in Spanish, Cómo escribir y publicar su cuento (How to write and publish your short story).
