My first poetry collection, EPHEMERAL, is available for purchase!
Published December 6, 2021
My first poetry collection, Ephemeral, is now available for purchase. I have collected poems I wrote between 2009 and 2021 for this collection. These poems are part of my heart and soul. I can honestly say EPHEMERAL is my favorite book project so far.
Here is the little blurb on the back, so you can get a vibe of this collection:
There is magic here. In the brevity of life, and the moments that compose it. There is light, and there is darkness; there is love, and there is longing… Ephemeral is an exploration of the soul through poetry.
Grief, joy, love, regret, passion, and even a touch of fantasy and the esoteric. María Pagán’s first poetry collection includes fifty poems divided into three parts or “intervals”, each with its unique feeling. Take a look into your inner darkness, and inner light; hopes, dreams, quiet desires, and wishes denied…
With a touch of Magic.

EPHEMERAL is a collection of modern poetry that collects a variety of sad, bright, spiritual, dark, and optimistic poems, divided into three sections called "intervals" inside the book. I am very excited about this project, and even more so for its successor, ETHEREAL DREAMS, set to be released in early 2023.
My YA fantasy novel, The Crystal Conjurer, is out now!
It's out now! My YA fantasy novel, THE CRYSTAL CONJURER is now available for purchase in eBook and Paperback formats. I did register an ISBN for the hardback version, but for now it is impossible for me to offer a hardback since I could not get IngramSpark to give me an account due to my location (Puerto Rico); they were not sure if PR could provide e-signatures. I needed to use their services to release the hardback.
THE CRYSTAL CONJURER is my fourth novel ever written, and my first novel ever published. It takes place in the fictional land of Barren, a desert land full of amazing creatures, ruled by magic and Conjurers, those who can manipulate magic and use their own unique Gifts to benefit--and some to harm--others.
It follows the journey of 18yo Alula as she travels through the desert in search of the Temples of the Sacred Art, after discovering that she was born with the powerful Gift to conjure pure Crystal, a Gift sought after by Dark Conjurers. At the Temples she hopes to reunite with her lost family and find out the truth about herself. Click here to read the full blurb!
I'm immensely happy and grateful that I was able to publish this book this year, despite all the difficulties and health challenges I have faced. If you buy this novel and you enjoy it, please consider leaving a review. It is so helpful for indie authors so that our books can be discovered and given a chance by more readers.
Thank you very much for your support, and I will see you soon. <3

Book Release announcement - THE CRYSTAL CONJURER
My young adult fantasy novel, THE CRYSTAL CONJURER, will be available for purchase this December. THE CRYSTAL CONJURER is a YA fantasy novel that takes place in the fictional land of Barren, following the journey of 18yo Alula, as she travels through the desert in search of the Temples of the Sacred Art, after discovering that she was born with the powerful Gift to conjure pure Crystal, a Gift sought after by Dark Conjurers. At the temples she hopes to reunite with her lost family and find out the truth about herself.
It's my fourth novel, but the first I ever considered publishing, and I can't wait for you to read it! I hope it's as much a magical experience reading it as it was writing it. Here's the full blurb:
“Conjurers can make you remember things that are not real. They can make you believe; they can make you be so sure you could bet your life. Conjurers are the absolute best liars.”
*
Surrounded by never-ending desert, destined to become the wife of the infamous Conjurer Fausto, Alula believes her world lies in the Palace of the Chosen, where she is simultaneously a jewel of the Palace and a servant.
When Alula starts having dreams about her life before the Palace, memories which should have been erased from her mind upon arrival, she knows a big change is coming. Between mirrors and shadows, and the dreams of her past, two Conjurers reveal themselves to Alula as her long forgotten brothers, and they carry a message: Alula must leave the Palace before Conjurer Fausto can have her, for Alula has the Gift of the Sacred Art, and Fausto is after her power. Alula’s Gift is special, coveted by Dark Conjurers: she is a Crystal Conjurer.
In an extraordinary journey through the Desert, Alula seeks to find the truth about her past, and to reunite with her lost family. Together with the friends she makes along the way, she discovers that family is not formed only with ties of blood, that not everything is what it seems, and just how far she is willing to go to protect those she loves.
This novel will appeal to those who enjoy reading about magic, with a touch of physics, as well as fantasy worlds, magical creatures, and stories about found family and odd friendships brought together by unusual circumstances. If you enjoy reading this novel, please leave a review! It's really helpful for author, and especially indie authors, because that way the book can rank a little higher and the pesky algorithms can become a little bit more friendly to it, making it more discoverable for others.
This book is coming in December 2020! I'll give you the exact date when everything's ready.
