A Labor of Love

Early this week, my husband made the mistake of calling what I do a "hobby." I almost punched him in the nuts. This isn't a hobby. This is a passion or, as Author Shawn M. Klimek called it, a mission.

Putting Unity, Volume 1: A Magical Realism Anthology has been a triumph and true love gift. I am so proud of the collaborative efforts by the editorial team, and of the contributors. PritiJ of PritiJ Designs did a masterful job of supporting with advertising and Andjela Vujić (cover designer) and Norbert Somosi, Featured Artist, made the cover sublime. This anthology really is like no other, and  it is such a gorgeous book!

This week, I sent out author copies to all eligible countries; the rest will go out through U.S. postal service (so long left kidney). Yesterday, the first copy reached Canada. That was a supreme joy for me. As a writer who loves to get author copies, that right there brought the efforts home for me. 

So, if you want a great read of magical realism stories, poetry and art, and yes art, where all the proceeds go to a worthy cause, buy this anthology for only $9.99! You will not only support Doctors without Borders but amazing emerging and established authors!

    *********************
    MARIA J. ESTRADA is an English college professor of Composition, Literature, and her favorite, Creative Writing. She grew up in the desert outside of Yuma, Arizona in the real Barrio de Los Locos, a barrio comprised of new Mexican immigrants and first-generation Chicanos. Drawing from this setting and experiences, she writes like a loca every minute she can—all while magically balancing her work and family obligations. She lives in Chicago’s south side with her wonderfully supportive husband, two remarkable children, and a menagerie of animals.
