Watch “Why I Write,” by Author Monica T. S. Flores at: https://www.instagram.com/p/DVOPsaqjT8d/
My name is Nikki Flores and I’m based in Lansing Michigan. I’m a part of the Capital Letters Eclectic Fiction group, and my work is in the Haunt issue from MSU Libraries and in Faoileanach Journal, as well as in two zines from CLEF.

I write because I love the stories that come out of our culture and I’d love to share that with a wider audience. And I also hope that my children, who are very well versed with Greek and Roman mythology, also get to expand the pantheon to have more of our own stories–our diwata our aswang, our ghosts and spirits and sirenas, and other engkanto– so I hope you will join me.
I love to support other writers so if you have a book, please do share (at https://bit.ly/addmybook) and if you’re writing a story, please do submit it to the DILIM press open submissions https://submit.dilimpress.com.
I’m really looking forward to connecting with all of you through this work.
