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.
