This coming Saturday, Oct 10th from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. at the Latino Family & Book Festival at CSU Los Angeles, I’ll be moderating “Chicas, Chicanas & Latinas: A Panel of Contemporary Female Authors” with Julia Amante, Margo Candela, Irete Lazo and Josefina Lopez.
Many of you lovely readers hail from far and wide but I bet you have a question or two about these amazing authors. So please feel free to leave some questions in the Comments section and I’ll do my best to get them answered!

All I hear are crickets …
That was good panel.I never have good questions, but I enjoyed it.I have one for the next time – what kind of music to you listen to when you write? Does it change per chapter, character, scene?
Hi Marytza:I make soundtracks for my books, which I update and rearrange obsessively! Right now I'm hooked on Linda Ronstadt's mariachi music, Lydia Mendoza, Chavela Vargas, Lola Beltran and Tona Negra.Thanks for for attending our panel!Best,Mary
