Join A.J. Torres and Alexander Casillas in a discussion around Torres’s experiences as a Bi / Pan writer of LGBTQ and non-LGBTQ fantasy characters in her multiple fantasy novels. Their discussion hones in on the ways Puerto Rican heritage influences Torres’s works, and how research into Puerto Rican and Taino culture and spirituality have the power to reconnect us with our humanity in an increasingly demanding and distracting world.

Torres explains her experience self publishing and offers advice for other writers. She also explores the ways she markets and prepares to launch her books. With an upcoming novel for November 2025, we look forward to having Torres back for her cover reveal and to maybe read a snippet of Valhalla, a Norse Mythology inspired novel.
