Out Now: Abuelo, A "Memoir"
Dear Reader,
I’m happy to announce my new novel Abuelo: A “Memoir” is out and in the world. This novel was a labor of love and I am excited to share it with all of you. If you enjoy contemplative coming-of-age narratives set in the ordinary, humdrum of everyday life, this book is definitely for you.
As always your support is a huge help so if you do purchase a copy (and enjoy it) please leave a review on Amazon. Sadly our lives are ruled by algorithms and digital overlords and writers are trapped between a rock and a hard place. Amazon reviews are super helpful and can make or break a book. I am working with my publisher to get my book in a few small independent bookstores but sadly this is the reality of publishing in the 21st century.
What I care about most of all, is getting this book in your hands. So as that Nazarene carpenter once said, “Give to Bezos what is Bezos'”…or something like that.
I’ve been talking about this novel for a while and so now that it’s in the world I have nothing but gratitude, especially for the folks at Alternative Book Press who believed in this manuscript and gave a first-time novelist a shot and you the loyal reader who without none of this would be worth it anyways.
Hopefully, this is the first of many!
Sincerely,
Ryan Diaz
