SLHW Meeting Monday

I just wanted to remind you that on Monday night, we have Houston author Gwendolyn Zepeda traveling to San Antonio just to speak to the members of the Society of Latino and Hispanc Writers! Gwendolyn's presentation will be Monday night, Feb. 8, at 7:30 p.m., at Barnes and Noble, San Pedro Crossing.

Gwendolyn has just published her second book, Lone Star Legend, with Grand Central Publishing, a division of Hachette Book Group USA (formerly Time Warner Books).

Publisher's Description:

When Sandy Saavedra lands her dream job with the popular website ¡Latino Now!, she can't wait to write hard-hitting pieces to combat all those stupid Latino stereotypes. While visions of Pulitzers dance in her head, her editor in chief is suddenly laid off, replaced by the infamous Dolores Villanueva O'Sullivan. Dolores has one mission: make ¡Latino Now! an internet phenomenon, no matter how many pandering puff pieces she has to pack onto its pages. Sandy doesn't see how she can keep this job without losing her soul, especially when she's sent to Middle-of-Nowhere Texas to investigate the dumbest legend her people ever created, the Chupacabra. She fears she's about to fail an assignment-and lose her job-until she meets Tío Jaime, a grandfatherly hermit who might be crazy, or might be the best thing that ever happened to Sandy's career.

I hope you have the opportunity to join us in welcoming Gwenolyn to San Antonio for this special talk just for you!
