Great news! My flash fiction piece "Three Penises" is in the amazing anthology Blaze. I am honored to have my work printed along with so many wonderful authors like Carmen Baca, Steve Carr, David Bowmore, Mark Kodama, and others.  You can get the hard copy at Lulu Press and Kindle version on Amazon.

My book Not Your Abuelita's Folktales is doing great in the Amazon rankings and climbing for both paperback and Kindle books. I am also pleased as punch to have a great reaction quote from P.C. Darkliff in my Amazon book description.

You may recall how I agonized over which submission to send this press, months back. I am honored to have my poem "Jesucristo Santificanos" accepted in In Case of Emergency Press! I will let you know when that anthology comes out.

Finally, I have another event, on Friday, July 12. I have to secure the library and set the time, but you can see details in the future @ https://www.facebook.com/events/457667014802826/. I will be reading from Not Your Abuelita's Folktales and Blaze.  There will also be a Southwest themed potluck and an Open Mic--for bragging rights. If you are in the Chicago area, I hope you will attend!  Stay tuned!

Well folks, it is a wonderful morning, and I am so happy to share my good news. I hope you are celebrating your milestones today! #barrioblues
