Hello, I'm Barbara Rodriguez, a passionate writer, cancer survivor, and faith-driven storyteller. Born and raised in the Bronx, New York, with roots in Puerto Rico, my journey has been shaped by life's challenges and the strength I've found in my faith. Overcoming a 35-year addiction to cigarettes and a battle with Stage 3A cancer has taught me resilience and deepened my connection to God, who I believe guided me through my toughest times.
Writing has always been my way of processing, sharing, and healing. From my childhood home in the Bronx to the creation of my fantasy world Elandra and other stories, I explore themes of good versus evil, redemption, and the beauty of God's love. I love crafting characters who are on transformative journeys, much like my own. Whether it’s screenplays, eBooks, or blog posts, I strive to tell stories that inspire hope, faith, and creativity.
When I'm not writing, I enjoy diving into documentaries about the ocean, reflecting on the wonders of nature, and letting my imagination soar. I'm also exploring different platforms to share my work, from screenwriting contests to platforms like Medium and Ko-fi.
My dream is to build a successful writing business that allows me to share my experiences, help others, and live a creative life-all from the comfort of my home. Every day is an opportunity to create, express, and connect with others through my words.
