Hello friends and readers,

I have been so busy that it has been several weeks since I posted something on my blog. I finished the new book in Spanish, Carmela y Pepe. As you can see in the picture, I have not published it. The photo shows a book proof, which cannot be sold. As I explained before, when I received it and read the events in the story, with all the details of everything that parents went through and the family secrets they kept, I decided to provide book copies only to my relatives. After they read it and render an opinion, I might go ahead with my late mother’s wish to publish it.

I have also finished the Spanish translation of “The Monarch’s Flight.” The novel tells the story of a married Mexican ex-seminarian who immigrates in search of the American dream. But his plans are disrupted when he falls madly in love with another woman. The story unfolds in the last two decades of the twentieth century, exposing its main characters to the challenges and vicissitudes of illegal immigration in the US.
