Today, we have the pleasure of speaking with Cris Ascunce, a writer whose creativity and courage inspire us all. Born in Miami and deeply connected to her Cuban roots, Cris began her professional journey in the world of advertising, crafting campaigns that highlighted the best of her hometown.

Now, Cris lives in Miami with her wife of twenty years and their beloved canine and feline daughters. In this interview, she shares her professional transition, the creative process behind her novel, and her perspective on sapphic literature and travel. Get ready to uncover a story that combines passion, dedication, and a deep commitment to LGBTQ representation.
