Tanya Michele Amador is a Hispanic American writer who began her writing career as a political commentator and later transitioned to art curator and critic. Growing up in Florida as a first-generation American, she has been a voracious reader of history and fiction since childhood.
Her first work of fiction is inspired by the stories of her Indigenous, African, and European ancestors in Puerto Rico, as well as her own relationship with female empowerment, resilience, generational trauma, and identity.
Tanya currently resides in London with her husband and dog, and plans to publish her novel in 2027.

For fans of books such as The House of Spirits and Pachinko , set in 1982 Florida, a young woman flees an abusive marriage and returns to her birthplace of Puerto Rico and her revolutionary grandmother’s farm. Unknowingly pregnant, she begins to uncover family secrets buried, spiritual connections to her ancestors, and her love for the agricultural land, just as her past and a hurricane close in.
"When tyranny is law, revolution is order."
—Pedro Albizu Campos, leader of the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party.
“I like Florida. Everything is in the 80s. The temperatures, the ages and the IQs.”
-Comedian George Carlin
