Then, upon surfacing, there is the possibility to know yourself and others anew. ‘Love is in the Air’ is a collection of 20 poignant love short stories and 9 feel-good love poems.

Between Norteño and Tejano Conjunto
Between Norteño and Tejano Conjunto analyzes the origin, evolution, and dissemination of the norteño and tejano conjunto.
