Stories where science Fiction and Faith come together.

I am a Catholic, which dictates my writing with a science fiction twist. It can feel like a small doorway into a whole universe, so imagine something that carries both the hush of a chapel and the hum of a starship. Think of a line that suggests faith isn’t a relic of the past but a compass for the cosmos. I am a writer who looks through a telescope with one eye and Scripture with the other, charting stories where grace bends light, mystery fuels exploration, and the human heart remains the bravest vessel in the galaxy.

Three Days was written back in 2004, when I first discovered an old prophecy known as the Three Days of Darkness. The prophecy was never acknowledged by the Roman Catholic church due to circumstances that made it challenging to validate. However, what if… Three Days takes the reader through the lives of people who experienced darkness for three days. It’s an end-of-times mixed with science fiction. It quickly transports the reader to the future period in which the story is set. The story is fiction, but the references to Catholicism are true. Faith and hope are their strength. it not too late.

About Jo Cortez

I am retired from the Texas Department of Human Services. After my retirement, I followed up as a substitute teacher, which led to a permanent position as a Physical Education coach Paraprofessional, where I have had the privilege of inspiring young minds to appreciate the importance of physical activity and teamwork. I majored in Criminal Justice with a minor in Physical Education, which reflects my dedication to both understanding societal structures and promoting health and fitness. I am a devout Roman Catholic and a parishioner at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church in Rosenberg, Texas, where I actively participate in community events and volunteer initiatives that strengthen our parish’s bond. Writing was always a hobby with dreams of becoming an author, and I often find myself scribbling down thoughts and stories that emerge from my experiences. I was born and raised in Fort Bend County, surrounded by the love of my five sisters, and our shared memories have greatly influenced who I am today. I credit my parents for their prayers that led me back to the church, guiding me on a path of spiritual fulfillment and community service. I enjoy reading books and watching movies, especially science fiction, as they allow me to explore new worlds and ideas, sparking my imagination and fueling my passion for storytelling.
