I was born in San Juan, PR. Lived on and off the island for 40+ years. More off than on now.
My INTRO page contains details. I've been writing since elementary school as an escape. I'm currently working on a novel loosely based on personal experiences and family lore. There'll be music, a couple of love interests and a lot of mid-90s nostalgia.
Proud to receive Honorable Mention in the Literary Short Fiction category for the story, Temporal.
Old Blog:
I came across my old "Blog Spot" page. I'd completely forgotten about that page. For some older reading from my trainer days you can check it out: Joanna M Bartell Blogspot - Trying to focus on one ring at a time. It's mainly very brief essays and thoughts from the days before social media took over.
