I am the author of the forthcoming middle-grade novel, TORTILLA SUN (MG) Publisher: Chronicle Spring 2010
In the works:Remember Me Blue.

Tortilla Sun is a tender, magical story about Izzy Roybal, a 12 year old girl, who is sent to spend the summer in her nana’s New Mexico village where she is soon caught up in the foreign world of her own culture, from patron saints and soulful food to the curious and magical blessings Nana gives her tortillas. In Nana’s village she meets Mateo, the adventurous, treasure seeking thirteen year old boy who lives on the other side of the bolted door in Izzy’s bedroom and six year old Maggie, who is raising her cat, Frida, as a dog and sees marshmallow ghosts float out windows.

When the wind begins to whisper to Izzy, she is soon led on an adventure to learn about who she really is and to connect the hidden pieces of her past.
