The Letters: Prequel to Cenquizqui the Novel

The Letters
The most intimate journey into the characters of Cenquizqui lies beneath the broken wax seal of The Letters. What they reveal is entirely dependent upon their relationship with the recipient. Gaze through their masks and discover the confessions of the fragmented outsider. Threads of their fragility and wonder lay painfully and touchingly naked.

The Novel
Cenquizqui
Martín, a biracial conquistador questions his privilege as he learns of his Indigenous roots. He is the New World. He and the mestizos rise from the dust of Tenochtitlán to a time of rebellion and magic. Where illicit affairs and proper marriage coexist like cacao and milk, Martín, the reflective medicine woman, and a Poet with the Monkey Laugh wander deep into the chambers of forbidden love, distorted identity, torture racks, pirates, and sea monsters. Will they emerge with their inner worlds realized and whole? Or crumble to pieces trying?
