There's nothing more I like to do than read--and drink coffee. My tastes run from the poetry and prose of Sandra Cisneros to more commercial genre writers like Stephen King. My favorite books in 2012 were the memoir "Always Running" by Luis Rodriguez and the YA novel "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian" by Sherman Alexie. I came to writing through my reading. Currently I work as a research editor at Cosmo for Latinas magazine and my stories have appeared in The New York Times, Texas Monthly, The Texas Observer and aired on NPR. My first novel, Between Dances, received a Lambda Literary Award. I'm a member of the Macondo Writers’ Workshop and live in New York City.

@JustinWantsMe A bother? Never! I'm just so glad we're able to connect here. Thanks again, Isabel, for your really encouraging words about the writing. You don't know how much it means to hear them. Thank you so very much.

@erasmoguerra I hope I'm not a bother, if I am, let me know! But I am just excited to come across such a wonderful writer such as yourself and also, while I read your story, I pictured it as an actual book; minus the phone that I was reading it off of. I have a strong feeling you'll be well known for your writing such as Pam Ryan, you'll be mentioned by great authors and I know you'll be one of them too :)

@dotandtittle So glad you like the writing, Ian. But, no, I am not a grandad. :) No offense taken. Though I do wish I had spent more time with my own grandfather, talking about writing and the literary life. I only found out after he passed on that he'd been a writer. He wrote poems. Never knew that. And I'm convinced that when I do sit down to write, he's there with me, somehow.

@JustinWantsMe Thanks so much, Isabel. So glad you've enjoyed the stories and that they resonated with you. It's such a thrill to meet a fellow Texan who is as much into stories--reading and writing them--as I am. Thanks for reaching out and for your feedback on the individual chapters. Your words meant a lot. More than you know. Thanks!

I just had to fan you, you write excellent. I can hear your voice in your written words. Hope you like my stories too, if you get a chance to read them - with your coffee. Tell me, are you a grand-dad? (I hope I'm not offending.) You have a voice of someone with a lot of wisdom.

You write so amazing, I am in love with your way of writing; it's so captivating and it's almost impossible for me to tear my eyes away from what you've published. You're such an inspiring author, writer, publisher, whichever you may prefer; you're just, amazing to me and I admire you and your heartwarming stories that bring me memories that I haven't even experienced, if that makes any sense. Well, much love to you and keep doing what you do because you're so great at it! %u2014 Isabel :)
