De todo corazón envío mis condolencias a las víctimas de los incendios en el sur de Chile y a quienes hay perdido sus casas y a veces todo lo que poseen, y toda mi admiración y afecto a quienes están combatiendo el fuego y ayudando en esta tragedia.

En Madrid la pasé de lo mejor con estas maravillosas mujeres brillantes y con gran sentido del humor @estirandoelchicle.

In Madrid, I had a great time with these fantastically brilliant and funny women @estirandoelchicle.

I was very busy in Madrid with the presentation of my new novel, had fun at the late night show La Revuelta, received an honorary degree from Universidad Internacional Menéndez Pelayo at the Instituto Cervantes, sat on a bench dedicated to my book and made a deposit of mementos at Caja de Letras.

Today is a special day! MY NAME IS EMILIA DEL VALLE is now available in the U.S. I am so grateful for your support and hope you enjoy reading Emilia’s story as much as I enjoyed writing it.

On Wednesday, June 18th, I'll be returning to How To Academy in conversation with @hannahmacin1 to share the story of Emilia del Valle, an unforgettable new heroine on a treacherous, life-changing journey.
