Welcome everyone, to my online home! The doors are open, there are drinks and snacks over by the back wall, plenty of music playing (we do take requests) and hopefully, lots of good conversation about books, movies, music, and pretty much anything that catches my fancy.
Just to get you started, here’s a little FYI on what you’ll find find around these parts. There’s the obligatory About me page where you find out all my deep dark secrets. (Not really, but you do at least find out whether I love milk or dark chocolate. And what my friends think of me.)
Of course, if you’re here for the books, you’ll get information on When the Stars Go Blue (St. Martin’s Griffin/2010), winner of BEST YOUNG ADULT NOVEL: 2011 INTERNATIONAL LATINO BOOK AWARDS, including an exclusive excerpt, as well as info on my previous novels, Adiós to My Old Life and It’s Not About the Accent.
So take a look around, settle in, and feel free to comment when the spirit moves.

Oooh, pretty!
*beams* Ain’t it though? I love it more than chocolate… almost.
Lovely new site! Gorgeous.
Thanks for stopping by, ma’am, and thanks on the compliments! Much appreciated.
Just stumbled upon your site through shewrites. Great blog. Look forward to following you.
Thanks for stopping by! Always glad to see new faces!
This is a beautiful site. Just stopped by to apologize for getting your last name wrong.
Thank you! And please, please, don’t worry about getting my name wrong. Easy, easy mistake– just didn’t want people to have trouble finding my book.
Thanks for stopping by!
I have read some of the excerpts, and overall it surely sounds interesting.. would love to read it. Also, didn’t have any troubles in spelling or pronouncing your name!
This was such a good book! You know, like chocolate, I wanted to devour it but I tried to pace myself but I just couldn’t! It was an amazing piece, and it’s definitely on my “Read Again” list. I loved this book THAT much! Caridad, your book just made it to #1 on my Top Fave books list and I’m recommending it to my friends as well. Keep up the awesome work and I can’t wait to read your other books! I would like to become an author someday (if triple threat for me doesn’t work out) and I’m currently writing a book. You’re an inspiration to us all!
I just wanted to let you know that I highlighted your novel on my blog (www.cindylrodriguez.com) as part of National Hispanic Heritage Month. I enjoyed it and look forward to reading more by you.
