Hello, friends and familia:

Lots of great news…

First up: San Juan Noir is out in both Spanish and English editions, and can be purchased online or ordered through your local bookseller (support bookstores!). The fifteen stories in this collection of terror, suspense and murder are set in Metropolitan San Juan and were crafted by authors such as editor Mayra Santos-Febres, as well as Ernesto Quiñones, Luis Negrón, Yolanda Arroyo Pizarro, myself and many others.

This is major breakthrough for the Puerto Rican fiction writers community. All the authors are of Puerto Rican heritage and are being features together for the first time in both Spanish and English collections. Translations were provided by Will Vanderhyden and Alejandro Álvarez Nieves.

A reading and book signing celebration will be held at the Loisaida Center in New York City on Friday, October 28 at 7:00pm. I’ll be posting more news about this soon as well as an update on my next venture, CharlieVazquez.com, a website that will feature resources for emerging and other writers. More on that to come soon!

(Still wrestling the novel demon.)

Abrazos,

Charlie Vázquez
