“Dirty Girls Social Club” Movie

Alisa Valdes captures the stories of REAL Latinas in the United States, in her “Dirty Girl Social Club” series.  Her characters are strong, independent, college-educated, professional, loving, passionate women who struggle to balance their families, personal lives and work.   “Las Sucias” deserve their moment on the big screen!

Ms. Valdes has created an a account on Kickstarter to raise funds for the movie.   If we all work together, we make this happen!

Bodice-rippers of Old, Be Gone!

Readers will get what they demand.  Since women are expecting realistic characters, who reflect current times, romance authors are delivering a variety of fantastic female lead characters.  I have seen the trend toward deeper, better developed characters for over 20 years.  The next goal is to focus on the portrayal of women of color – all colors – accurately. 

To quote the “vintage” Virginia Slims’ ads – “You’ve come a long way, baby.”

Vote Vets Reaction to Mrs. Obama’s Military Families Initiative on MSNBC

As the wife of a US Army veteran (Go Artillery!), holidays that honor our nation take on a special meaning.  They are more than an opportunity to grill meat, watch fireworks, enjoy cool beverages and spend time with friends and family.    They are a time to reflect on the sacrifice our young men/women and their families make, so we can enjoy real freedom.   

On this eve of July 4th, my sincerest wish is that we bring our troops home quickly and safely, that they have the full medical/health benefits they have earned, are hired into their chosen career field, and never go hungry or homeless.  

Thank you and I support you, through Votevets.org.
