Thank you for engaging in what can seem an uphill profession. And thanks to our presses and editors as well.

If...Once again, I am not asking you to buy my book. If you want to, that is your choice. I am asking you to support these people, women mostly who are Pioneers and who very few of the young ever recognize and thank.If your name is among those of the featured books here, you owe a world of gratitude to these women pioneers. Is it that difficult just to press a link and subscribe to journal that is free or buy art work from one of them or the lastes book by another one of them? <br /><br /> I would rather have you buy for the Holidays gifts for your friends and familia from Sandra María Esteves collection of earrings and from the banned books list in Arizona the works of those who are TRULY commited to social justice. You may also want to give me an extra gift for free. Please go to Ana Castillo's webpage below and subscribe to the La tolteza-zine. http://www.anacastillo.com/content/ It is free and you will support the building of an world class at the caliber of the one created by Ana's friend: Rosario Ferre.That would make me happy!

The storytelling of painful episodes during his "coming of age" periods are told with realism, humor, sarcasm, and profound insight.

Nuestras pioneras a veces no tienen dinero ni para comer y nadie se ocupa de traer nueva vida a sus obras ni de difundirla. En adicion, los jovenes ni se ocupan de agradecerles el haber abierto caminos. Asi que alabo la decision, la cual anuncie en NC cuando dije "50 Shades of Brown This Year, not 50 Shades of Mediocrity." Gracias por esta iniciativa.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12616515009778206973noreply@blogger.com
