A few things about me:I am a Philadelphia-born writer living in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico since 1992.

It is part of the San Miguel Writers Conference held in February each year. sanmiguelwritersconference.orgWhile I can pronounce many complicated words in Spanish, I have yet to master the art of flipping the top off a Corona bottle with the seat belt buckle, a skill at which my Mexican husband is adept.
