1. ABOUT JAIME MARTINEZ-TOLENTINO & WRITING CREDITS
I hold degrees from New York University and the Sorbonne, as wellas a Ph.D in French from
The University of Madrid, and a Ph.D in Spanish from The University of Massachusetts. I taught
languages and literatures at The University of Puerto Rico, the Inter-American University of Puerto Rico,
Purdue University, the University of Massachusetts and the State University of New York (Buffalo) from
where I retired in 2002.
I am the author of 12 books, and the editor of six others, most of them in Spanish, some in French
and one in English. Those books, published in Puerto Rico, the USA, Germany, Spain and Australia,
include literary and historical essays,reference works,collections of short stories, plays and a memoir
published by Australia’s ASJ Publishing. ASJ Publishing has also accepted for publication my children’s
book “Little Johnny’s Magic Hermonica,” and the Miami, Florida publisher La Pereza Ediciones has just
recently published my collection of short stories titled Cuando cae la noche.Moreover, I am the author of
over 40 publications in newspapers and journals from Puerto Rico, the USA, Canada, Spain, Venezuela,
Mexico, Peru,Italy, Colombia, and the Internet. I have received literary awards in Portugal, Puerto Rico
and the United States,and my work has been the subject of large portions of two published books.
