Perfection is a Barbie doll, and, unless you're looking for a guy with a fake smile, a hard head, and no genitalia, then you're better off NOT being perfect―Single Chicas
Single Chicas is a collection of stories about modern Latinas being in, out, and around the zany hurdles of relationships. One woman receives strange calls from a lonely soul, another seeks advice on how to love herself, and another wakes up in a parallel universe to a man she's never met. These chicas will make painstaking effort to survive the complexities with humor and grace. Once again, López dazzles audiences with her brilliantly candid craft. Smart, witty, and funny, these stories will explore the true endurance of singlehood.

Interview
What is the hardest part of writing
your books?
A: Finding the muse and
the time
What songs are most played on your
Ipod?
A: I didn’t really listen
to any music, but I did have Shania Twain’s “Man, I feel like a woman” in my
head.
Do you have critique partners or
beta readers?
A: Yes, my fellow author
buddies.
What book are you reading now?
A: I’m ashamed to say that
I’m not currently reading anything as I’ve been busy promoting my latest book.
How did you start your writing
career?
A: It kinda started when I
wasn’t looking. I wrote my first novel right after high school and was
published four years later while I still in college. From then on, I’ve been
moving around, doing gigs and marketing myself.
A: Single Chicas is the first
installment in the Single Chicas series. It’s a series about young, modern
Latinas going through the hurdles of family, love, and life. I am currently
working on the second in the series called Holiday
Chicas. In this next book, these chicas’ lives will revolve around the
calendar holidays of the year (i.e. New Year’s, Valentines, Halloween,
Christmas, etc.) For more details on release date and events, please visit www.sandra-lopez.com
