Society Update
Please place on your calendars the Monthly Meeting of the Society of Latino and Hispanic Writers of San Antonio on your calendar. It will be on Monday, April 9 at 7:30 p.m. at the Barnes and Noble, San Pedro Crossing. This meeting will feature a dozen of our members reading from their works in a feature we call “Cinco Minutos with You.”
If you have attended these “Cinco Minutos” meetings in the past, you will agree that we have been treated to some wonderful works that have gone on to be printed in publications for everyone else to read. We still have room for one or two more people who may like to share their works! If you’re interested, please let me know soon before all the spots are gone. Each reader will receive a PACfest Fiesta Medal in celebration of Fiesta!
I really hope everyone can attend this meeting; I miss seeing everyone and hearing about their works-in-progress.

Thank you to everyone who has offered me words of encouragement regarding my book reviews for the San Antonio Express-News. My latest one on Michele Martinez’s suspense novel “Cover-Up” was selected by LatinoStories.com as its “Book Review of the Month.” Here is the link:

I am in contact with California author Malin Alegria, author of “Estrella’s Quinceanera” published by Simon & Schuster Children’s Publishing in March 2006, and the soon-to-be published “Sofi Mendoza’s Guide to Getting Lost in Mexico”, which should hit bookstores in May 2007 by the same publisher.
Here is Malin’s website: http://www.malinalegria.com/Guide%20to%20Getting%20Lost%20in%20Mex.html
She is planning a visit to San Antonio the week of April 23rd and I am trying to put together an audience for her, and perhaps set-up a luncheon with her. If you’re interested in the luncheon, please let me know and I’ll keep you in on the loop regarding planning.

Don’t forget this is National Poetry Month!
