Brief Author Bio:

I don't know what my novel for this year is about. But then again, I never know what anything is about.

Synopsis: Thinking of You Underneath the Mexican Moon

Excerpt: Thinking of You Underneath the Mexican Moon

My favorite is London. I know the tube has a bad reputation for being unreliable and outdated, but that is what I love the most about it. I love how you never know what exactly will happen, but you know sooner or later you will get to your destination. Although, my favorite city has to be Paris. I know, I am so cheesy. Though I really do love it when I visit there. I feel like a part of my heart is always kept in Paris. The stereotype is that Parisians are rude. Which can be very true sometimes. But then again, every place has rude people. I do not find Parisians so much rude but rather protective. Sort of like me. The Parisians do not let anyone in because they do not like him or her. Rather, they want to keep their city from being something they did not invent. So while Paris may be cheesy. . . the French were always known for their cheeses.
