Nine for '09

Today’s San Antonio Express-News had an interesting article on “Nine for ’09,” about nine San Antonians to watch out for this year. The list included Diana Lopez, author of Sofia’s Saints, who was one of the first guest authors to attend the meetings of the Society in 2004. The article announces the June release of her sophomore novel, Confetti Girl. I have had the pleasure of hearing Diana read from the novel several months ago and what I heard left me wanting to read the book immediately.

Also on the list was Barbara Renaud Gonzalez, who also was an presenter during the Society’s formative days.

The list also included an additional nine people to watch out for, and on that list was Florence Weinberg! Florence was an active member of the Society in 2008, and through our meetings, came to know Andre Csihas, who is now translating a couple of her books into Spanish for publication.
