(Author’s note: My next book, After Hours on Milagro Street, is now available for preorder. See the bottom of the blog.)
In one week, the final book in the Filthy Rich series will hit retailers. As I celebrate endings, I’m thrilled to also announce new beginnings!
I can’t wait to work with Carina Press and my fantastic editor, executive editor Kerri Buckley, once again!
This new series comes from the depths of my heart. I was born in southeastern Kansas to a multi-generational Mexican-American family. When people ask me where I’m from, I tell them, “Kansas.” It's not uncommon for them to respond with, “No, where are you originally from?”
“Kansas,” I say, looking them dead in the eye.
This series will explore how strong women of color make the world around them – even a small Kansas town – magical.
I’m hard at work on Book 1, about a Mexican-American middle sister and black sheep who returns to her small Kansas hometown to save the family bar and discovers an uptight and irritatingly hot East Coast professor with designs on their historical building standing in her way.
Its tentative release date is July 2022.
