Her writing spans many genres: poetry, speculative fiction, cultural essays and drama. Gomez adapted her novel, THE GILDA STORIES, for the stage and it was performed in 13 US cities from NYC to San Francisco by Urban Bush Women Company.
Her current novel looking for a home is entitled TELEVISED and follows Black student activists from the 1960s at their 30th anniversary reunion.
Gomez's newest play, "Waiting for Giovanni, " is about a singular moment in the life of writer/activist James Baldwin and opens in San Francisco (New Conservatory Theatre Center) in the fall of 2011.
She's read her work throughout the US on campuses and in bookstores and in England and Amsterdam but it's not been translated into any languages thus far--a great disappointment especially since THE GILDA STORIES generates fans around the world. The novel is taught in classes on speculative fiction, Black literature as well on as slave narratives.
