Overview

In the Hispanic/Latino culture, a folk healer is called a "curandero." Noe's grandfather, Santiago, was a wise and powerful healer who, in the end, could not cure or save his own daughter, Noe's mother. As child Noe made the decision he would become a "real doctor" even though his grandfather kept telling his grandson he inherited "el don," the gift of healing.

Years later in medical school, Noe is unaware that both he and his grandfather have been hunted by a coven of Mexican witches because of who Noe is and what he can produce. Noe's weakened and aged grandfather is slowly dying in a nursing home as the world around him begins to change and Noe's girlfriend is kidnapped.

Does Noe really has special powers and if he does can he control and use them as the witches close in? A story of the supernatural but also of faith, The Evil Eye is a modern tale of mysterious threats and powerful belief.

He says when you’re in a firefight and you have a camera when everybody else on both side have guns, you get to change your pants a lot.

After his military service he earned both his M.A. and his Ph.D. at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor in Radio-TV-Film. He also received two of Michigan¹s most prestigious creative writing awards, The Hopwood Award, one for a one-act play and the second for a novel.

Here he taught Theatre-TV-Film for 30 years in the Department of Communication serving as Department Chair at U.T.P.A. for 11 years. He did take one year out to work for The University of Alaska Anchorage as a visiting professor.
