Lucas Correa the Cuban author landed in Miami in 1991 where he got a job working for El Nuevo Herald as a freelancer. He got his start in journalism working in the entertainment section in which he wrote a range of dance critiques.

However, writing is something that he has always done ever since he was a child. He started out writing essays but his first ever literary fiction work was the award-winning play “Final Exam.”

He would then work on a novel about Cuba during the 1980s but ultimately never published it. It was more of an experiment to play with the language he told the story of young people who were wandering on the streets of Havana.

Years later, he was approached by a Harper Collins/Rayo editor who asked him to write about his experiences as a surrogate father. The editor was impressed with the manuscript and from then on talk developed about him writing a fiction novel, which he finally did in 2016.
