Perfect timing! The local newspaper over in Arden, Sacramento, wrote an article about me because of my Author Talk tomorrow at the Arden-Dimick Library. I can't believe how good it is, and it takes up the whole page (page 10).
Thanks Monica Stark with Arden-Carmichael Newspaper
I'm looking forward to meeting you there!
I was super excited to receive this unofficial review from a reader up in Trinity County, CA
Be sure to send me a review if you want to have it featured here.
Last year I did this event at the Rancho Cordova Library. It was pretty cool. A bunch of people showed up, some whom I've never met, and many friends from the community.
My book, El Tiburon, is set in Antigua, Guatemala. Before I wrote the book Joe and I went there for a month for language school. I was won over by the people and the history. After a month I had a good feel for the town's layout and the daily vibe. We were there during Semana Santa (Easter Week), which I used for several scenes. We returned for another month of language school and to be the Godparents for our Godson's wedding. That was a great event for us. We were able to be part of the community. We still stood out like sore thumbs, but it was really great. (Check out my travel blog; A Dashing Bold Adventure in November 2009 & August 2013).
I will bring textiles, photos of the city inside the garbage dump, and various items. I will also bring books for you to purchase IF you want to, but I would love it if you came to this event even if you already have El Tiburon. I will also be donating a book to the library.
I also want to remind my audio-readers that El Tiburon was released back in August. Let me know if you would like to review it and I'll get you a copy. I only have a couple of free copies, so make sure you get in touch with me.
My book, El Tiburon is officially released as an audio-book through Audible.com. If you are new to Audible, you can grab it for free by signing up with them as a first time member. Here's the link;
