Om mig
I am an attorney, engineer, author, and entrepreneur. I like to live and work “out of the box,” which sometimes makes for a challenging life. But I would not have it any other way. One of my favorite quotes (which I have had on my office wall since I was a young engineer over 25 years ago) is:

“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.” by Robert A. Heinlein

I became an "accidental novelist" in 2014. Although I had published a nonfiction book before and loved writing, I had no plans to publish a novel just yet. Timing, facts, and circumstances aligned with an unknown force that inspired me to turn some of my family research into a novel, and to write the second book and short story that followed.

My books "Antonio's Will" and "Antonio's Grace" tell the story of the first Puerto Rican and Hispanic executed in the electric chair in the United States in 1916. But they unveil more than this forgotten event. Within a historical framework encompassing three countries and over 100 years, the books tell the story of the rise of a father who in 1870 emigrated from Spain to Puerto Rico and became a prominent tobacco planter, and the fall of his son Antonio Ponton, who in 1911 went to Albany Law School to study but instead found death on the electric chair. The books also uncover the facts about his wrongful execution.

I invite you to learn more about the story. Please visit my websites at www.Tirado-Chiodini.com and www.AntoniosWill.com. Follow my Facebook author page at www.facebook.com/Yasmin.Tirado.Chiodini.Author. I am also on Linkedin, Google+ and Twitter (@TiradoChiodini).
