When the author was five years old, he lived in a Mexican farm and had few toys, no television, no electricity or running water. He and his siblings told stories as they looked up at millions of stars each evening. Such a world led to a clarity of mind that stimulated his imagination. He always knew that one day he would write books. J.C. Salazar grew up in Houston, where he still resides, the child of immigrant parents. He earned degrees in English (BA), linguistics (MS), and literature (MA) from the University of Houston and UH-Clear Lake. He also completed doctoral courses in English at UH. J.C. is a lifelong educator and community activist, who loves great stories, language, and writing. "Of Dreams & Thorns" is his debut novel, inspired by his immigrant family and community. He hopes you love reading it as much as he loved writing it. JC's second book, "states of unitedness: poems" is a collection of his poetry, spanning some 45 years of his adult life. His poems manifest his longing to discover truths that eluded him by his soul's entrapment in its physical form. He practices deep and constant introspection revealing truths and wisdom that inspire his work.
