Hola. Born and raised in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, of Puerto Rican parents, I have worked as a writer for most of my career, in all kinds of magazine publishing and online. I also taught at the high school and college level—including at Columbia University and Boricua College. As a journalist, I have written for Gallery, Cable Guide, and TV Guide. My writing has been published by Aphros, DC Comics, Downtown, Faultline, Mississippi Review, Murdaland, ñ, Tales of the Zombie War, and as well as in the anthologies Hit List: The Best of Latino Mystery and Indian Country Noir. I cowrote two screenplays, and there is a novel around here somewhere. I’ve performed onstage, for unbelievably popular podcasts, and for online video. I started this blog for no good reason.—R. Narváez aka Richie Narváez
