Gume is a Texan, native to the Rio Grande Valley, 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.
When he isn’t writing, Gume can be found getting lost on a hiking trail with his dogs Blu and Mouse.
