About the author

Hi, I'm Luis

I'm a storyteller who writes across very different worlds, from cheerful coloring books for children to faith-filled stories and spine-chilling horror.

For young readers, I created Glittery the Dumpling Squishy, a coloring storybook series for ages 4 to 8 about a soft, golden, giggly dumpling and her friends. Each book pairs a complete read-along story with bold, easy-to-color pictures and gentle lessons about kindness and friendship.

Having spent years working in customer service, I also created Clock Out & Color, a stress-relief mandala coloring book for service workers who deserve a calm moment at the end of a long shift.

Whatever the genre, I write stories with heart. More books are on the way!
