A Few More Days to Release Day!

The Pinata-Maker's Daughter is down to its final proof. I expect it to publish next week!

It's 1984, and the world is changing. It's still pre-I-phone, pre-computer for the most part. But that doesn't make Carmen's life a simple one.

This coming-of-age story of Carmen Principia runs the gamut of young women's issues. Why won't her mother support her desire for a university education? Does she think it's enough to be a pinata-maker?

At the University, Carmen collides with philosophical radical Franco and frat man with a sense of humor, Joe Sneed. She is torn between her roots and her future. Can she bring both sides together?

Her roommate, Shirley, is not quite what she had in mind either.

Life is a whirling circus as Carmen tries to navigate a world with different values and expectations than those she grew up with.

THE PINATA-MAKER'S DAUGHTER is filled with scenes of humor, heartache, choices, and growth. Jump into Carmen's world this summer.
