Gume is a Texan, native to the Rio Grande Valley, a border region along the southernmost US/MX borderlands. For the past decade, he has dedicated himself to crafting literary works that promote inclusion and showcase diverse characters with intersectional identities. Gume’s stories especially highlight the underrepresented groups he is a part of: Latine, Chicanx and queer. His first traditionally published hi-lo verse novel, Samson & Domingo, received Honorable Mention for Best in LGBTQ+ Themed Book from the International Latino Book Awards. When Gume isn’t writing, he can be found getting lost on a hiking trail with his dogs Blu and Mouse. He's also a botana connoisseur, considers himself a professional amateur poet, and claims he could probably be a good DJ if he tried.
