Alisa Lynn Valdes was born in Albuquerque , New Mexico . Her father, Nelson Valdés, is a retired sociology professor at the University of New Mexico , and emigrated from Cuba in the early 1960s.Her mother, Maxine Conant, is a seventh-generation New Mexican of Irish descent, and a poet and novelist.
Valdes spent her childhood primarily in Valdes-Rodriguez has since written six novels: Playing With Boys in 2004 and Make Him Look Good in 2006; a Young Adult novel, Haters, in 2006; Dirty Girls on Top, a sequel to The Dirty Girls Social Club, in 2008, The Husband Habit in 2009 and The Three Kings in 2010.
I chose to do a biography on this author because one of my favorite books she wrote which was Haters, I really enjoyed it and read more of her novels after I finished the first one.
Do we have any of her books in the Elgin Park Library? If not, do you think we should have some?
