About ROVER
When Lia’s mum steals away with the family’s hospital savings, Lia is forced to turn to space-mining to pay for her sister’s hospital bills. The Rovers is considered the most dangerous occupation, but at least it’s the highest paying one. If you’re a man.
But crossdressing illegally in space and staying in the good grace of the visiting Monarch turns out to be the least of Lia’s worries. Because while the Monarch tries to introduce the idea of women joining the space miners, the most unlikely person seems set on barring his every move—a fearless feminist called Jail that Lia has always looked up to.
Battling to learn the way of the Rovers and at the same time, not let her disguise strip her of her very own beliefs, Lia begins to uncover some dark secret—secrets that could mean the unraveling of their human rights as they know it.
ROVER
ROVER is a high-paced, YA 70k, #own, LGBTQ sci-fi about underdog Latina Lia who crossdresses as a space miner to earn a male’s paycheck in the struggle to cover for her sister’s hospital costs.
It's a book that was super fun to write and helped me grow a lot as an author! Lia also resinated a lot with me on different levels, her sass and kick-ass persona a nice escape from reality.

"If you want to be immersed in a story about a badass latinx who gets the job done and cares about those around her while unravelling her universe’s mysteries - this is the book for you!"
Rikke about ROVER
“I don't think I've ever read a debut novel that grabbed me so quickly. Michelle Cheves writes fantastic characters that you empathize with, and she manages to build a dysphoric world that seems realistic and easy to understand. The language is fluent and colorful. Seriously; read this book!!!"

El Sombrerón is a magical realist short short inspired by the Latin American myth of El Sombrerón, the nighttime guardian of peace and justice. It is about El Sombrerón arriving in a sleepy town to find that a young girl has stolen a golden necklace and must convince the girl to return what she has stolen in order to avoid El Sombrerón’s justice... and before the sun rises.
Olive about El Sombrerón
"Señora Sombreron is a nightime guardian, when she gets called because of a little girl thief who stole a necklace. As they get into a chase and confront each other, the girl returns the necklace, only to steal the coin purse. What a night!"
