Hi Everyone,
Mark your calendars for Sunday, March 3 at 1 pm ET/10 am PT!
We’re going to get a preview of our own Alejandro Nodarse’s wonderful debut novel, BLOOD IN THE CUT, which will be published on June 4. For those of you who’ve taken Las Dos Brujas online workshops with Alejandro, you already know him as a charismatic teacher. Now you’ll get to hear him read and discuss his writing process and the long road to publication.
I’ve had the good fortune to read an early copy of his novel and had this to say:
“Alejandro Nodarse's BLOOD IN THE CUT brings to vivid life a Cuban-American world that has been invisible in literature―until now. A place of illegal hunters and deadly swamps, of competing allegiances and the violences at the brutal heart of exile. Mr. Nodarse writes with rare insight, sensitivity, and beauty. An extraordinary debut!"
Here’s a pre-order link:

I’ll check in again with reminders and a Zoom link beforehand. This event is open to all subscribers.
Abrazos,
Cristina
Dear Alejandro, I am so thrilled at reading this news. We've coincided in so many workshops and are part of the same writing community but I am excited at reading our work and living in the world you have created for us. Felicidades, hermano. May your book meet with great success. You've been working hard for years and deserve every acknowledgement of your tenacity and your commitment to getting our stories out there for all to read.
Alejandro, I'm looking forward to your presentation on the 3rd.
