Can’t play this cool at all, nor do I wish to. After 18 years of research and writing, it feels fitting to revel in the warm welcome my multicultural novel, Candlelight Bridge, is receiving from readers and reviewers. I’m excited to share starred reviews from such stellar publications as Latino Book Review, Midwest Book Review, and the Historical Novel Society…but my geekiest squeal of joy came when Colorado Public Radio invited me to an interview. I wrote most of Candlelight Bridge while living in Denver, and often dreamed of discussing it on Colorado Matters! If you have 19 minutes to listen here, you’ll hear what makes this historical novel a story for our times.
