I am delighted to be a guest author at this year’s Texas Book Festival to read from and discuss my latest book, How to Date a Flying Mexican: New and Collected Stories. If you’re attending, I’d love to see you at my panel, “Ghosts, Scorpion Women, and Scrawny Chicken Gods: Genre-Defying Fiction and Poetry,” 1:45 pm - 2:30 pm, Sunday, November 6, in the Capitol Extension Room E2.014, 1100 Congress Avenue. My co-panelists will be Adam Soto (author of Concerning Those Who Have Fallen Asleep) and Leticia Urieta (author of Las Criaturas). Our moderator will be Christina Miranda, literature section editor for Latinx Spaces.

See you in Austin!
