I told this past Saturday at the El Paso Writers’ League’s first Virtual Book Festival. Three other authors, Dan Leydon, J.B. Masaji, and Kari Veenstra read excerpts of their books as well.
My story, La Suerte de Curi, begins a few seconds before the 15-minute mark. It’s dedicated to Don Pedro Covarrubias who shared this story with family.
This Saturday, October 10, the EPWL will host its first Virtual Book Fair from 2-4 PM. It will be livestreamed on the Facebook page as well. Yours truly will be telling.
We had a wonderful inauguration for our Little Library on our cul de sac. Our neighbors came out and filled it up in less than two minutes! A special thanks to Fabian Ramirez and Karina Lakhanpal for the artwork! My family—hubby, dad, mom and boys for the hard labor to set it up! Thanx Lisa Lopez-Williamson for enabling me to get the Little Library and all the awesome work you did in El Paso!
I would like to thank my marvelous friend and supporter, Maria Lopez, for bringing this storytelling opportunity to my attention. Here is the two-minute pitch. I hope you like it!
