Author Jonathan Ray Hernandez Farris is an American of Mexican and Colombian ancestry. His mother instilled in him a love of storytelling from an early age by telling him stories and exposing him to a wide range of movies. Because of that, he has been fascinated with both hearing new and writing new stories. He wrote the three novellas while traveling the West Coast, visiting places including the Big Sur beaches, the forests of Oregon, and his San Fernando Valley home. Each story’s flow resulted from both the abstract ideas that followed each real-world experience. Despite being fiction, each story’s reality breathes deeper truths about art, youth, and personal liberty.
