Interview with author Misa Ramirez 47 comments
We’re pleased to have mystery author Misa Ramirez with us tonight from six until eight. Misa is the author of the successful Lola Cruz mystery series. The first, LIVING THE VIDA LOLA, was released by St. Martin’s Minotaur in January ‘09. It’s just been named a local (Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex) bestseller. Her next Lola Cruz novel will be released in 2010.
Misa is a former middle and high school teacher proud to be Latina by marriage. The blonde, green-eyed writer is a California transplant who lives with her husband and five children near Dallas. She has a passion for the Latino culture and Mexican food. Whether it’s contemplating belly button piercings or visiting nudist resorts, she’s always up to the challenge in the name of research. In the meantime, she’s hard at work on a new women’s fiction novel, is published in Woman’s World Magazine, and Romance Writers Report, and also has published a children’s book.
Let me start off the questions. Misa, what attracted you to mystery novels?
