THIS YEAR’S SELECTED TITLES by EDIE AYALA
Having said all of the above, the fact is that Stories with Character is a small publisher and we are currently all about one author. Edie Ayala. So we’re promoting her books. She invents quirky characters who transport us through twisting plots in little-known places. She writes character-driven stories about people who are marginalized or disregarded, who are intriguing and foreign, characters, who, one way or another, haunt us long after we’ve put the book down. Her books are sprinkled with magic realism and humor, and underlying each story are social and cultural questions that are begging for discussion.
Right now, we are selling 3 titles (see below). For more details, please visit Edie’s site. Or contact us for more information.
