Thank You! Also, ongoing $0 Deals on Print-Kindle Bundles #barrioblues

First of all, I wanted to offer a deep digital hug to all of you who downloaded my book La Bruja del Barrio Loco.  (Be sure to give it a favorable review like my big sis did down below!)  I also want to thank everyone who bought books in the month of October.  I am so grateful!  That really boosted my morale, so much that I am almost done with my next book, Not Your Abuelita's Folk Tales.

I am really excited to be working with a new cover designer, and new beta readers, including the amazing author Todd Heldt.  In fact, I spent this morning adding to "El Encantado" and moving scenes around.  I also added a darker atmosphere using the dessert's natural creepiness, when there is a heavy dust storm.  The beta readers have offered nothing but great advice. 

Finally, I neglected to advertise this ongoing bundle deal, but if you bought the printed version of any of my books, you can get the Kindle version for free.  Please, help spread the word!

    *********************
    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.
