R.M. Garcia
I was born and raised in New Jersey, and am the proud son of Puerto Rican parents. My parents moved to New Jersey from Puerto Rico shortly after getting married, I was born about a year later. I have 2 younger siblings, twins, Eric and Erica. Growing up I was a kind child who never asked for much. I didn't ask for anything because my imagination provided me with everything that I would ever need. My mother always said that of all her children I was the one that gave her the least amount of trouble.

I was considered a dreamer by all of my teachers, but I never thought that label was a bad thing. I was initially very shy until I got older and stopped caring what others opinions of me. I realized that I was who I was, and you either liked me or you didn't, simple as that. I have been called weird, quirky, funny and trustworthy, all titles I hold dear.

I wrote the short story of the Foundlings when I was still in High School and it was not till much later that I fully developed it into a book. Back in the day, I used to also write poetry, but story telling became my true love.

After High School, I moved to Florida and went to college. I dabbled in varied professions over the next several years. I worked in jobs such as Hotel Manager, Accountant, Insurance Agent, Travel Agent, Customer Service Rep, Draftsman, and even a Fry Cook. When I started on the book, I realized that this was my passion, what I was ultimately meant to do.

I loved writing the Foundlings and even if it does not become a best seller, I will continue to write. Publishing my first book led to me meeting my wonderful wife. So God willing and with help of my fans, The Foundlings will make a mark in the literary world. Thank you for reading about me.

Book Blast: Too Much "Ado"

Tour Schedule

Winner: Goodreads Best Poetry Publications 2011

Praise for "Too Much Ado":
Generally, I am not a big fan of poetry, but Too Much Ado is Tony Angelo at his best. Lyrical, deep, moving. It's not what he says--a lot of poets talk about poverty, race, desperation, humanity, relationships--it's how he says it. He says so much with such a few words. Speaks the harshest of themes in the softest of tones...."--Tammy Ruggles, Amazon.com

SYNOPSIS

Too much ‘Ado’ is a poetry book that tackles some of the major prejudices within the world; this includes race, homosexuality, and children with disabilities. In addition the poem speaks to the heart, reminding us that relationships can be very difficult. For example:

DISGRUNTLED
“I came away from someone that I thought I knew. And if her eyes were any measure then my life would be through.
I’d felt so out of place and I didn’t know why.
It seemed she didn’t recognize me or was I being just too shy?”

A FATHER’S EYES
“I remember standing at the door, peeking out the window, never seeing either of my parents depending on how their career goes.
Those promises that were never kept at a time that would soon be gone.
You sit inside your room and wonder how long must it go on!
Holding one truth within your heart I will never do this to my son…”

Each piece is a simple reminder that while life can be difficult and even debilitating it is better shared together with love and understanding.

Book Blast: "Task Force Gaea: Finding Balance"

Tour Schedule

During the age of Olympos, when a vengeful goddess shatters the Sacred Scales, both immortals and humans alike suffer. Apollo, the god of truth, goes from a glorious existence as The Shining One to a victim of Zeus’ wrath, and his journey makes him question his godhood, his role in the cosmos, and his views on humanity. Prophecy and the Fates direct his course, and he must make difficult, yet vital, choices. Millennia pass, and Dan, Aleta, Brandon, and Sarah—four reluctant modern-day heroes gifted by ancient civilizations born of the gods—bound by prophecy, have to choose whether or not to save their world when it could mean they never existed. They must master their new powers while battling against incomprehensible forces from the Underworld and repairing the Sacred Scales, destroyed long ago. With the equilibrium between Order and Chaos unhinged, and the Olympian gods struggling to exist, these four must ally themselves with the United Nations to protect an endangered world, becoming the only group who can fight against metaphysical threats to the Earth, forging Task Force: Gaea. Can mortals succeed where gods cannot go?

Boston born, I grew up on Long Island in New York, and have my B.A. in English with a Master's in Secondary Education. I currently teach AP English Literature, IB English, and Creative Writing in Land O' Lakes, FL. My avid appreciation for fantasy fiction came from a childhood love of Greek mythology and comic books, especially Wonder Woman. Stemming from this literary love affair, I published my first novel, Task Force: Gaea—Finding Balance, in February 2012.

In addition to my fantasy writing, I have written poetry, much of which was influenced by my travels abroad, namely to Ireland. My hibernophilia extends not only to a great love of the Emerald Isle itself, but also to the writers who hail from there, namely W. B. Yeats, and I studied this poet in a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship at the National University of Ireland in Galway in 2005.

Additionally, I have traveled to Spain, France, and England—all with trips I have led with students—and hope to show more of my students what the world beyond Florida looks like.

I'm "living the dream," as it were, and I love life—I just hope it loves me in return. I reside in Land O' Lakes, FL with my partner of 13 years, Gavi, and our two cats, Yankel and Shayna.

Book Review - Wicked Lovely

Rule #3: Don't stare at invisible faeries.

Aislinn has always seen faeries. Powerful and dangerous, they walk hidden in mortal world. Aislinn fears their cruelty—especially if they learn of her Sight—and wishes she were as blind to their presence as other teens.

Rule #2: Don't speak to invisible faeries.

Now faeries are stalking her. One of them, Keenan, who is equal parts terrifying and alluring, is trying to talk to her, asking questions Aislinn is afraid to answer.

Rule #1: Don't ever attract their attention.

But it's too late. Keenan is the Summer King who has sought his queen for nine centuries. Without her, summer itself will perish. He is determined that Aislinn will become the Summer Queen at any cost—regardless of her plans or desires.

Suddenly none of the rules that have kept Aislinn safe are working anymore, and everything is on the line: her freedom; her best friend, Seth; her life; everything.

Faerie intrigue, mortal love, and the clash of ancient rules and modern expectations swirl together in Melissa Marr's stunning 21^st century faery tale.

Rating:
4 out 5 Flames

Recommend:
Yes

Review:
The main character Aislinn is your typical teenager, at least that is, if you count seeing the fae people everywhere. Not that she could acknowledge this. It was one of the three rules handed down to her by her grandmother, along with the sight. But Aislinn ached for someone else to share her secret with, so she finally confides in her best friend Seth. Then Keenan, a fae King, comes along with an offer that fate will not allow her to refuse, the rules she's followed all her life get broken and Aislinn is forced to make her own if she wants to be happy in this new life.
I've been reading a lot of vampire and shifter books lately, so I thought a faery book would be a nice change of pace. I was really swept away in this one, with all the magic and yearning to keep the ones they love. It was an excellent read. I can't wait to dive into the sequel, Ink Exchange.
