La Bloga--news, views, reviews, announcements, author profiles, interviews, short fiction, poetry, y mucho más. Manuel posts every Friday on this literary blog.
My story in Latinos in Lotusland (Bilingual Press) is entitled The 405 is Locked Down. A writer from out-of-town pays a visit to the City of Angels, looking for the big break promised by the fantasy land of Hollywood, only to find that he has intruded into the personal crisis of two people trapped in that fantasy, with no easy way out. Hope you like it.
And watch for upcoming stories in The Rocky Mountain News, as part of Denver's 150th birthday celebration, and in the Latino Mystery and Crime Fiction Anthology to be published by Arte Público.
Check with the University of New Mexico Press for Moony's Road to Hell and Brown-on-Brown; Northwestern University Press for the very nice re-issues of The Ballad of Rocky Ruiz, The Ballad of Gato Guerrero, The Last Client of Luis Móntez and Blues For The Buffalo.
