Helping us get through this HumpDay…

Big shout out to Silvana Reyes (aka @thebookvoyagers) and Frolic for helping me give readers a first look at ISLAND AFFAIR, book 1 in the KEYS TO LOVE series with Kensington Books!

Set in Key West, ISLAND AFFAIR is a May 2020 release best described as This is Us meshed with Blue Bloods, Latinx-style, in this familia drama featuring a  hunky fire fighter-paramedic and the social media influencer who convinces him to be her fake almost-fiancé.

For a sneak peek at Luis and Sara’s meet-cute, check out ISLAND AFFAIR’S First Look on Frolic!

I had the chance to chat live with Bernadette Walsh, romance and women’s fiction author and radio podcast host of Nice Girls Reading Naughty Books.

Pull up a chair, pour yourself a cup of coffee or a beverage of your choice and click here to listen in on our conversation…

I got to hang out on the Read-A-Romance Month site and chat about The Magic of Books. Wanna know about a magical moment in my life? Or the magic books and reading have brought to my life? Or which authors are on my “definite recommend” list? Or how I feel about the importance of Latinx and all diverse romance?

Head on over to the RARM19 site…. 😀

Rebecca Heflin & me, live on the WHOA GNV set

A couple weeks ago, I had the opportunity to spend the morning with fellow romance author Rebecca Heflin, chatting about romance writing, writers life and more on the WHOA GNV podcast with Collin Austin.

The show highlights entrepreneurs, leaders, business owners, and generally awesome people living and working in Gainesville, Florida. Listeners can listen to the podcast and those  who prefer can view the video on YouTube.

Join us as we share how we got our start as romance readers and writers, our process, thoughts on traditional vs. small press vs. indie publishing, a little Valentine’s Day advice, and the thrill of making the USA Today Bestseller list.

I’m extremely sad to say that today is HEA USA Today‘s last day for new content, though previous reviews and articles will remain online and searchable.

And yet, I’m extremely thankful that the site and one of its contributors,  Keira Soleore, gave me one final gift in 2018 by posting a wonderful review of Their Perfect Melody, book 3 in my Matched to Perfection series with Kensington!

HEA USA Today provided an outlet for authors to share book covers, release news, reviews, author-life articles, and more. As a LatinxRom author, I say thank you for the light all who contributed to HEA shone on AOC (authors of color) and our work.
