New Website, New Blog

I am very grateful for all the friendship, support and guidance graciously given to me. I have Chantel Acevedo to thank for suggesting Wix.com--mil gracias! Many thanks to all the folks who provided feedback on the draft of this website--Rebecca Fortes, Amiee DeNoyelles, Ashley Torres and others. I am supremely grateful to Wanda Raimundi-Oritz for creating the beautiful woman who serves as the background to this website. Wanda creates painting, murals, graphic novels, installation pieces, performance pieces and more; check out her site.

So I am the first to admit that I was an infrequent blogger when my first book MBOE (Marielitos, Balseros and Other Exiles) came out; a friend, José Reyes, generously created for me: www.marielitosbalseros.wordpress.com

Maybe it was a bit cumbersome, or I was too busy or maybe I didn't realize how many people read blogposts so I promise to blog at least once a week.
