A Writer’s Life: Refreshing My Amazon Author Profile

🛠️ A Quiet Update: Refreshing My Amazon Author Profile

Last night, I made a small but meaningful update to my Amazon Author Profile. It wasn’t a major overhaul—just a refinement to better reflect the scope and emotional focus of my work. These kinds of updates often go unnoticed, but they matter. They’re part of the ongoing effort to present one’s creative journey with clarity and care.

The updated bio now reads:

Alex Diaz-Granados (born 1963) is a published author, screenwriter, and literary architect whose work explores the emotional gravity of memory, friendship, and the quiet dignity of everyday connection. His journey began in the early 1980s as a staff writer and Entertainment Editor for his high school newspaper, later serving as Diversions Editor for Miami-Dade Community College’s South Campus publication. A lifelong lover of cinema, Alex has been reviewing films—championing masterpieces and dissecting misfires—since 2003, contributing to platforms like Amazon, Ciao, and the late Epinions.

Beyond criticism, Alex has collaborated with actor-director Juan Carlos Hernandez on several short films, including A Simple Ad, Clown 345, Ronnie and the Pursuit of the Elusive Bliss, and Sunny in the Village of the Crickets, all available on YouTube. His writing also extends to blogging and general-interest essays, with past contributions to Yahoo! Voices (formerly Associated Content).

As a fiction writer, Alex is best known for the Reunion Duology—Reunion: A Story and its emotionally ambitious sequel Reunion: Coda. These works trace the emotional evolution of Jim Garraty, a history professor haunted by love, memory, and the echoes of youth. Set against the atmospheric backdrops of Miami and New York City, the duology blends cinematic storytelling with emotionally authentic characters, resonating with readers who value intimacy, nostalgia, and the redemptive power of connection.

It’s a snapshot of a long creative arc—one that began in a high school newsroom and continues through fiction, film, and reflection. I’m proud of the work, and even prouder of the readers who’ve found meaning in it.

If you haven’t visited the profile recently, feel free to take a look. And if you’ve read any of the stories, thank you. Every bit of resonance matters.
