I’m Hosting a Las Comadres LIVE Author Chat on June 27th – Hope you can come!

I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve been asked to team up with Las Comadres Para Las Americas and host a live book chat this month AND wait ’til you hear who I’ll be chatting with…

On June 27th at 8:00 PM EST, I will conduct an interview with Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, authors of Beautiful Darkness, Published by Little, Brown and Company Books for Young Readers, for part of the live book chat.

The rest of the live teleconference will feature additional conversations with the authors
Matt de la Peña (I Will Save You, Published by De La Corte Press) and Carlos Ruiz Zafón (The Midnight Palace, Published by Little, Brown & Company Books for Young Readers).

I hope you can join us! Register here!

* If you have any specific questions you would like for me to ask on air, post them below in the comments section or send me an email and I will do my best to try to include it.
