This is a collection of short stories I wrote based on lives and events of my gente in and around East Los Angeles. The stories and characters themselves are pure fiction but the spirit of my cultura is unfolded with pride and cariño. I like to make people smile, laugh and, if I'm lucky, let out an embarrassing belly laugh.
While every story is not necessarily neighbor on neighbor, each story addresses relationships of various sorts. Perhaps you've run across some of the personality types in my stories; maybe all of them. Even if they are all strangers, I hope they draw at least a chuckle out of you.
