"Viento del Sur"

"A Story for All Seasons - Un cuento para cada estacion"    

“A delightful first  novel captivating  the essence of the author’s birth country, its magnificent surroundings, a beautiful  land poetically described and the unforgetable revelation of a woman of intelligence, sensitivity and spunk, wrapped in a rebel temperament. Like her name, Alma Luz,“a soul of light” she will challenge the impositions  created by the societies where she lives and where she goes, constantly being  ahead of her time.”
      Ana-Luisa Kennedy, editor, Chilean Gazette, San Francisco

“Each chapter  takes you to a realistic scenario of the daily self- discovery of a little girl to a woman of character, one to lead, one to realize her dreams. She had no fears, she is brave to accept life as presented to her, forging ahead, aware of her place and society and what she needs to do. A fascinating piece of literature.
     Claudia Meléndez, San Jose Mercury News.

“We share  the winds, the landscape, a crazy geography of a  country, a  land of earthquakes  and  beauty, its people’s idiosyncracies by reading and living  forces of destiny of Alma Luz. "
    Solarina Ho, San Francisco Chronicle

“A wonderful collection of short stories from around the world culled from years spent abroad transalting for the United Nations and teaching foreign languages in Europe and USA. “Seasons” -the  author shows a passion to understand human experiences and identifies with cultural identities. Her unique bilingual version on facing pages translations makes the book especially relevant in the Bay Area where a growing number of Latinos is changing the face of the regions.
    Kelly Schmidt, SJ Mercury News

“The Spanish language market is now exploding and this is a celebration for bilingual books in a tough market, but Inés is making it!”
    Adriana Lopez, Editor, “Críticas”

     Anny Cleven, Past Borders Marketing Manager.
