Jessenia with Luis Ramirez

Most authors start their books with a carefully planned outline, but Luis Ramirez started his with a fever dream. In this episode, we sit down with Luis to explore the vivid, silent visions that sparked his ambitious gothic historical fantasy, Jessenia. Tune in to hear how a sudden rush of inspiration in the middle of a winter night led him on a relentless journey—even pushing him to go back to college for four years just to master the craft of telling this epic story of reunion and grief. Writing a book is 10% inspiration and 90% wondering why we decided to do this in the first place. In this bite-sized episode, we’re skipping the fluff and getting straight to the "aha!" moments. Our guest opens up about the times they almost threw the manuscript out the window, and the brilliant realizations that saved the book. No gatekeeping here. We’re breaking down what turned a "maybe someday" book into a "published right now" reality. It’s the perfect shot of inspiration to start your writing day.
