Author of The Madonnas of Echo Park coming to Stories

Have you read The Madonnas of Echo Park yet?

If not, do! It’s a magical book that takes place in Echo Park, where author Brando Skyhorse also grew up. Many view it as a commentary on the gentrification of the neighborhood – which is the direction that HBO is taking on developing a series of the novel. But if you’re tired of the overuse of the “g” word (gentrification), there’s a lot more to the novel.

Fans of the novel will have an opportunity to get some insight into the book in its original location next week. Skyhorse will be reading excerpts of the novel at Stories Books & Cafe in Echo Park on Tuesday, May 7, 2013 starting at 7:30 pm. He will also join authors Joseph Mattson of Los Angeles and Carlene Bonnivier of Echo Park.

    After I originally left a comment I appear to have clicked the -Notify me
    when new comments are added- checkbox and now each time
    a comment is added I recieve four emails with the exact same comment.

    First off I would like to say fantastic blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to
    ask if you do not mind. I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your
    thoughts before writing. I have had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out there.
    I truly do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are wasted
    simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or tips?

    Cheers!
