The cover to Lucía the Luchadora has been released, and isn’t it a beauty?! The book’s amazing illustrator Alyssa Bermudez has been hard at work these past few months on the art, and I’ve gotta say, it’s been super cool to watch the story come to life. Can’t wait for it to be out in the world.

The book is set to be released April 11, 2017, but is already available for pre-order.

This is the official announcement about Lucía the Luchadora in Publishers Weekly’s Rights Report. I’m super excited to be working with Alyssa and the team at Pow! Kids Books to get this out to the world next year.

This book deal has been a few months in the making, but now that the ink is dry between me and the publisher, I can finally let everyone know how I’m feeling on the inside:

Really, who wouldn’t be tickled pink about getting to write for children?

I’m especially proud that my first book published will be a picture book, Lucía the Luchadora. It’s a girl superhero meets lucha libre book and will be published by POW! Kids Books, the Brooklyn-based independent children’s book publisher. I’ll share more details once an official announcement is made. I’ve seen some of the early illustrations for it and it’s looking amazing. Move over Mujer Maravilla, Lucía the Luchadora has arrived.

Okay, Lucía may have some mad lucha skills, but that Wonder Woman spin is still dope.
