Alexandra Diaz is the award winning children’s book author of The Only Road and its sequel, The Crossroads, and also Santiago’s Road Home. Along with her mother, she translated the three book into Spanish, El único destino, La encrucijada, and La travesía de Santiago. The Only Road is the recipient of multiple awards, including the Pura Belpré Honor and Américas Award, among others. Her other books include Good Girls Don’t Lie (a New Mexico-Arizona Book Award finalist and International Latino Book Award 2nd place winner) and Of All the Stupid Things, (a New Mexico-Arizona Book Award finalist and ALA Rainbow List book), both for young adults.

Contact:

Anyone, young or young at heart, is welcome to contact me. Carrier pigeons, smoke signals, or telepathy are all fine, but are dependent on weather conditions or brain waves.

If you prefer electronic methods, please include a relative subject line because emails that just say “hi” or nothing at all run the risk of being classified as spam (and being a vegetarian, I don’t care for it).

I am VERY good at responding to emails, the socials not so much. If I haven’t returned your email within a few days, check your spam, make sure you can receive emails from outside your network, resend, or try to reach me via another option.
