ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Gerardo Manuel Fundora is a Cuban-born American novelist writing stories of exile, faith, family, and liberty. A husband, father,
grandfather, and great-grandfather in Miami Lakes, Florida, he earned a bachelor’s degree in economics from the University of Miami
and a master’s in business from Nova Southeastern University. After decades in business, he began publishing in 2025.
His novels are shaped by lived experience rather than theory. They blend real history with moral questions—freedom versus control,
faith versus chance, and the hope of a life rebuilt in America. He writes for readers who want stories they can recognize: courage,
redemption, and the quiet strength it takes to start over.

TALKING POINTS
- I did not set out to become a novelist. I started writing for myself. The stories insisted on being shared.
- I write from lived experience. The history in these books is history people like me actually walked through.
- I write from lived experience. The history in these books is history people like me actually walked through.
- Faith in my books is not a slogan. It is what people hold when institutions collapse.
- America, for me, is not an abstraction. It is the country that let a man rebuild a life and, late in that life, write books.
- Available for interviews, book clubs, churches, civic groups, and Cuban-American or history programs.
SUGGESTED QUESTIONS
- You began publishing later in life. What finally made the stories
leave the desk drawer? - How much of Alejandro’s Journey is autobiography, and how
much is a shared exile experience? - What do readers outside the Cuban-American community most
often misunderstand about leaving Cuba? - How did economics and business shape the way you write about communism and free markets?
- Faith runs through your books without turning them into
sermons. How do you keep that balance? - You call yourself “American by choice and grace.” What does
that phrase mean in practice?
