CARLOS HUGO ROJAS grew up between two worlds--born in Houston, Texas, but spending his early childhood on his grandparents' ranch in Tamaulipas, Mexico. This blend of cultures shapes his storytelling and provides the authentic perspective found in his debut novel, Escape to the North. When not writing, he immerses himself in both literature and film, constantly seeking new stories that resonate with his interests. Rojas lives and works in Houston, where he continues to draw inspiration from the community around him and the rich experiences that have defined his journey.
