Sometimes the outline an author makes before we start writing is thown off the roof! 

Yes, that is because characters have a mind of their own. 

They have their own ideas, plans, needs and desires as where a specific scene should go.

When I began writing this scene I had no idea it was going to become a scene filled with lust, teasing and desire, but one thing led to another and what should've been an innocent scene became filled sizzle... 

Mateo and Mariana together allow their hidden demons out and create sensuality at its best. Ho...

This is editing! Yes, the book is written but it has comments, notes and highlights everywhere for me to come back to while editing. During this process I can sit for longer hours and I can actually have people in the same room! lol!  Two weeks of this and off it goes to my developmental editor, who totally gets me and can see what's in my mind but it's not really on the paper...

Speak soon my friend, and I can't wait to share Mariana #2 with you!

Because a new coffee mug solves it all!

We are back! Back from vacations where I soaked up as much sun and chlorine as I could… 

There is something about laying under the sun wide awake with your eyes closed that ideas flow. From time to time, I would get up and jot the idea down in my notebook, shushing anyone that would dare speak to me… Sorry hubby...

My goal is two weeks. Two weeks to have a basic outline and I will start writing. I will stress out for not having a full and complete outline where I knew what the  characters were doing and what they were up to. Until Stephen King c...

The Universe likes to play hidden treasure with us. It plants a treasure within us and then stands back to see if we can find them. Remember this, we all have something wonderful within us, so stop doubting yourself and go find it!

The Birth of “Latin Lovers Series”
Ideas, creativity, and imagination blossomed within Aggie, sparking the creation of the mesmerizing “Latin Lovers Series.” In February 2023, the world was introduced to the first book in the series, “Sweet & Spicy,” a contemporary romance bursting with love, sensuality, and suspense. The plo...

-Get more in touch with your pleasure. Yes, you read that correctly, it should feel pleasurable and good. We are not talking exclusively about sexuality, but sensuality. Sensuality involves your senses. All of your five senses throughout the day. Run your hands through your hair, enjoy and really taste the food in your mouth, smell the things around you. Feel more pleasure with tiny moments throughout the day. 

-Be intentional with your words. The femme fatale may not speak much but when she does she does it calmly and intentionally. There is power...

Did you know you can train yourself to be creative?

Creativity is not reserved for musicians, painters, writers and dancers, being creative is a way of living, it’s about success in any aspect of your life!

“Creativity is a fundamental human skill, it is something we all need and it is a key to success” 

Creativity is simply taking separate concepts and putting them together making them appear as new.

There are many ways to train yourself to be creative and we will uncover many that I have found useful starting today with the book Steal Like an...

Creativity is not reserved only for the chosen ones or the geniuses. It is not a lightning bolt that comes out of nowhere and strikes you with inspiration. 

It is a skill we are all born with, and can develop it even more and more on a daily basis. 

Our creative mind is working constantly, from deciding how to put together dinner leftovers and create a new meal from that, to what we will wear that day, to  painting a picture or writing a book. 

The first thing we need to do as artists (yes, we are calling ourselves that) is break free from the idea of not being good enough. The creative process has many phases, and believe me your first sketch, draft or clothes combination might not be the final result, and that is ok! That is why it is called the creative process… ...

Hey my friend, I have to admit I am having a love-hate relationship with my current WIP… A Lover's Wish, book 2 in the Latin Lover's series.

 Alebrijes are spirit guides, strongly connected with nature. The Aztec people created these symbolic creatures mixing two living animals. Their role was to link the spirits and the real world and guide a person through their lives. It is also said that they are guardians to the souls of the deceased.

In the world of the living, they are referred to as spiritual guides for the soul, reminders of your place in the world, and society, holders of the torch;...

Hi dear friend,

Not sure if reading a romance novel is right for you? Here are five benefits I find when reading or writing a romance novel.

1- It is usually written by women for women, so the reader can very commonly identify and find a voice, inspiration and empowerment in the character’s journey.
