Rolando Andrés Ramos writes about characters discovering unexpected truths in familiar places. Born in Havana, his childhood walks through Cuba's colonial neighborhoods planted seeds for stories that bloomed after his family's move to Florida. A graduate of the MFA program at Full Sail University, he currently teaches at the university level while approaching storytelling with attention to structure and beauty. His debut novella, Searching for Margarito Temprana: A Barcelona Novella of Scent and Stone, reflects his fascination with how places whisper their stories to those willing to walk their streets with wonder.
