Dr. Jesú Estrada,
Pen Name: María J. Estrada
Chicago, IL

**My next event is May 1. It is a virtual release party on Facebook. You can also have input on the next freebie! You are all warmly invited.*

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 two mischievous cats. You can learn more about her other books and writing happenings at barrioblues.com.

My next book coming out is Not Your Abuelita's Folktales, a Magical Realism collection of short stories for Young Adults.
