NEW PUBLICATION

Henrick-Long Publishing Company has just released my latest middle grade biography--The De Leon Family of Texas. The book follows the life of Martin De Leon, the only Mexican empresario to help settle Texas. He and his family established what is today Victoria, Texas. Martin De Leon is a new addition to the Texas social studies curriculum for grades four and seven. The events in the lives of Martin, his wife, and his many children provide entertaining reading for seventh graders taking Texas history while providing an easily-accessed resource for fourth-grade teachers. The story of this fascinating family is set against the backdrop of important events in Texas history.

I AM LOOKING FOR SUGGESTIONS FOR OTHER HISPANICS ABOUT WHOM TO WRITE BIOGRAHIES--PLEASE POST YOUR COMMENTS.
