Author Bio

Christian Carmona is a bilingual novelist and poet whose work blends lived experience with spiritual depth, emotional realism, and cinematic storytelling. Born in Medellín, Colombia, Christian carries deep cultural roots that shape his voice. Since the age of five, he has called Miami home, where the American Dream became not just a hope, but part of his identity. He writes about family legacy, redemption, loyalty, and the unbreakable ties that shape identity across generations.

His writing is forged through real hardship and seasons of reckoning, including a four-year journey through incarceration that transformed his life and led him to be reborn in the grace of an all-loving and merciful God. With a renewed mind came a gift—a calling to write, to create, and to express a peace that surpasses all understanding. Christian’s personal story was later featured in Cocaine Nation by Tom Feiling, published by Penguin Books.

Today, he is the creator of ZEAL, his debut novel based on true events, along with an expanding collection of bilingual poetry and short fiction. His work captures the collision of faith and struggle, weaving cultural authenticity, raw emotion, and a deep search for redemption.

Christian continues to build the ZEAL literary universe while developing new projects for readers in English, Spanish, and beyond—grounded in a message of survival, grace, and transformation.

my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.” — Psalm 45:1
