Marta Acosta

@Lee_in_Iowa @BooksofMyHeart Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm working on Book 4 now -- wondering where the months have gone and trying to finish before too much longer!

@MartaAcosta @BooksofMyHeart The Coyote Run books are simply excellent—so gorgeously written and with complex characters who change over time in realistic ways. Add in dogs and mysteries and I’m hooked!

Delighted that my Coyote Run series made this list! @BooksofMyHeart

@Lee_in_Iowa I'm so happy that you enjoyed my Coyote Run series! Does Maddie steal another dog in the next book? Er, she does have that tendency!

I was never one of the dog & horse book teenagers, but now I’ve found the dog mysteries as an elder person, & I’m hooked. This is from “Mad Dog Down the Road,” book 2 in ⁦@MartaAcosta⁩ great series Coyote Run: “Humans are the worst animal, Beau. But you know that.”

@BooksofMyHeart @KatK9writer @ElizabethHeiter @dstevens5408 @DLKeur @JonesRada Thank you for taking the time to read them! I'm working on Coyote Run Book 4 now: Deadman's Dance. No idea when I'll be finished because I'm a slooow writer.

@KatK9writer @ElizabethHeiter @dstevens5408 @DLKeur @MartaAcosta @JonesRada Thank you for your K-9 books. I love them.

@dpeterfreund I'm staring out the window at a Coastal live oak right now. I'm in the SF East Bay. There are a few different varieties of live oak. All over the place in California.

@MartaAcosta Thank you! I appreciate that. 😀

@remarkablepaper Why does this terrify me? "Enjoy that sandwich. It's the last one you'll ever eat."

Your next notebook is the last one you'll ever need.

Always a good day when @Jennifer_Estep has a new book out.

Wonderful interview with @GustavoArellano about Ernest Robles and the legacy of the National Hispanic Scholarship Fund. Had the pleasure of meeting Gustavo when he read from hilarious Ask A Mexican at Tucson Festival of Books latimes.com/california/sto…

@IBM I don't know what mad genius matched this tedious jargon with a photo of young men and hots dogs, but give her a raise!

Finally grok lyrics "To everything, turn, turn, turn," because the spawn is growing a mullet. I assume it's an ironic mullet, but perhaps the mullet has been unjustly disparaged. #mulletsincerity

Great end to @Radioactive22 Latinas in Hollywood series. Fun story: I met @rosieperezbklyn in the CAA ladies room. I said hi & she said hi. Then I sat in the lobby for 2 hrs to be stood up by an agent who once said, "Where are the Latinos in Hollywood?" tinyurl.com/2cmdk799

@olivasdan Terrific essay, Danny, and your heartbreaking experience echoed one of my father's, never forgotten. He felt shame. I feel rage. Here's the link to your piece that opened the essay: news.yahoo.com/op-ed-stories-…

@MartaAcosta No worries! It was syndicated and republished by Yahoo News which has no paywall: google.com/amp/s/news.yah…

Wish I could read this article by Daniel Olivas, but I hit the firewall! @olivasdan

@maseditor @Leannarenee Lucky you to be with Tor! Working with Susan Chang as the editor for Dark Companion with amazing.

@Leannarenee @MartaAcosta So much depended on chance; if you hadn't walked past me in that hallway, who knows what would have happened?

Per @MartaAcosta's kind words: L: 1st Dorchester (now defunct) cover. R: Tor's revised reprint of STRANGELY BEAUTIFUL (Gothic, Gaslamp Fantasy Romance). I'll always 🖤 1st cover but remain so grateful @maseditor rescued the whole series. My most beloved characters. #Romancelandia

@maseditor @Leannarenee I went up against one of the big 5, and, yes, it's terribly hard. It helped that a brilliant agent with a law degree had negotiated my contract. It saddens me when I see things like Michele Serros's books without ebook editions. May she rest in peace @Leannarenee

@MartaAcosta @Leannarenee It can be harder than you think to reclaim rights. So much depends on why/how the publisher goes away and what becomes of the assets, which contracts are considered to be.

Of course, I would have been even more delighted if @Radioactive22 mentioned one of my favorites, Disney's The Three Caballeros, and the fab musical score. We watched this a thousand times. youtube.com/watch?v=8Z-aez…

Here's Mandalit Del Barco's latest show on Latinos in Hollywood about Latino composers and Latin music in movies. @Radioactive22 #HispanicHeritageMonth npr.org/2022/10/02/112…
