A journal documenting the everyday life of new author.
The newest addition to the Rodriguez clan (my mother's side); my cousin, Flores's daughter, Niya (she has a middle name, I just don't remember it). Doesn't she look like a doll?! I remember holding her mother in my arms when I first visited Brooklyn, New York years ago -- I won't even mention the year because I'll just get depressed.

It was never my intent to write a Christian novel. In 1997, I finished writing my first novel. Although I had an agent, the novel was rejected by several publishers; one major publisher expressed interest -- if I changed the format to their specifications. I refused and put it aside. One night, while browsing through my novels-in-progress I came across a 10,000-word manuscript about a woman and man who, disillusioned by love, seek something deeper. Nine months later a more spiritual, in-depth 120,000-word novel evolved, which ultimately became CHOOSE ME. In October 2003, I submitted the manuscript to Walk Worthy Press whose publisher turned out to be my former agent. Some people call it coincidence, I call it fate. My 2nd novel (which is ironically my first) tentatively entitled IN THE PICTURE I HAVE OF YOU, is under consideration for publication. In 2006, I self-published my "3rd" book, BORICUA MORENA: MEMOIRS OF A HUMBOLDT PARK GIRL, a collection of essays, poetry & short stories. Currently, I am editing my 3rd novel, NEGRITA MEANS LOVE and my second self-published book, a children's memoir, HUMBOLDT PARK DAYS.
