MARIO ROJAS

 

Born in Honduras and partly raised by his grandfather, a native New Yorker, who ensured English became his second language, and encouraged Rojas to pursue his passion for the arts instead of a family career in law.

Rojas studied philosophy, art, and graphic design. He wrote his first stories in comic book format. A seven-issue samurai-cyberpunk series, GIRI, was well received as print in his native country and can now be found on the Comixology platform.

Rojas moved to the States and with not enough time to hit the drawing table, he opted to ditch the panels and focus on the prose. He wrote and published his debut novel, Ravens Hollow, and its sequel, Shattered Sun.

He is currently bent over a keyboard, tapping away at his first work of literary fiction.
