SPC's Diana Lopez at Barnes and Noble, San Pedro Crossing
It gives me great pleasure to invite you to the 5th Anniversary Celebration of the founding of the Society of Latino and Hispanic Writers of San Antonio, at Barnes and Noble, San Pedro Crossing, on Monday, July 13 at 7:30 p.m.
Our guest speaker will be an author who has been with us since the beginning--Diana Lopez!Diana recently had her book, Confetti Girl, published by Little, Brown and Company. Diana teaches English at St. Philip's College.
From the website:
Apolonia "Lina" Flores is a sock enthusiast, a volleyball player, a science lover, and a girl who's just looking for answers. Even though her house is crammed full of books (her dad's a bibliophile), she's having trouble figuring out some very big questions, like why her dad seems to care about books more than her, why her best friend's divorced mom is obsessed with making cascarones (hollowed eggshells filled with colorful confetti), and, most of all, why her mom died last year. Like colors in a cascarone, Lina's life is a rainbow of people, interests, and unexpected changes.
In her first novel for young readers, Diana López creates a clever and honest story about a young Latina girl navigating growing pains in her South Texan city.
Please make every effort to attend this wonderful celebration of a Society and an author whose literary star is rising fast! Conexion, published by the San Antonio Express-News, ran a nice feature of Diana in today's edition--look for it and then come out and meet the author in person!
We will have cake and coffee, and Diana will be signing books after her presentation
