MEET THE AUTHOR - R.M. Almonte

Wednesday November 12th

AUTHOR EVENT

Join us on November 12th for a special pre-publication launch event as author R.M. Almonte kicks off the book tour for his latest release Fogs of Time!

ABOUT THE BOOK

Maria Del Camino grew up in Washington Heights- where the music's loud, love cuts deep, and corner bodegas feel like home- until her brother is gunned down and the fog comes.

One moment she’s crossing the George Washington Bridge, the next she’s spinning through time. With every jump, it brings her closer to the hand that pulled the trigger — and the truth waiting in the fog may be more dangerous than the bullet that killed him.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Ramon’s journey is one of reinvention and resilience: raised in New York during the crack era, he defied the odds after being told by a teacher he wouldn’t make it to eighteen. Inspired by Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist, he traveled to Japan with just $800 and no safety net, ultimately spending 12 years abroad that reshaped his worldview. Today, he is a multilingual, well-traveled author who has sold over 14,000 books, Heard on National radio and Podcast shows, and built a traditional publishing imprint producing both standard and collectible editions. His work blends lived experience, dream exploration, and ufology research into metaphysical sci-fi narratives that resonate with audiences across cultural and generational lines.
