Glitter comes to ELLA Book Club!
Author Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez is one of my writing heroes. I remember hearing an interview with her on CNN talking about the sale of The Dirty Girls Social Club, her debut novel. I immediately went out and bought and soaked up every word. Down the road, she came to Phoenix for a book signing, and then later on as a speaker at the Hispanic Women’s Conference.
I remember telling her “I’m writing a novel!” and then thinking to myself, “Kathy, you are a dork, everyone probably tells her that!” Alisa has never made me feel like a dork. She’s always encouraged me to keep going and to never give up. Alisa paved the way for so many of contemporary Latina authors!
Anyway, now you know why I’m so thrilled that she chose my book as this month’s selection of her new ELLA (English Language Latina Authors) Book Club! I encourage all of you to sign up to be a member!
Here is an ultra sweet video she made for GLITTER!
P.S. About me being in the characters, I must admit, yes, there is a bit of me in each one of them, just exaggerated to make the storylines juicier! 
Peace, love, and glitter!
Kathy
