Whether it's through an invisible touch, or tagging her name, Kelly Parra sits down with Twinja Book Reviews to discuss her writing!

There arent many Latina authors on our shelves, but you can bet half the books we own from such are penned by Kelly Parra!

1. We know you through "Graffiti Girl" and "Invisible Touch" being on our physical book shelf. But for those just tuning in, why dont you tell us more about yourself!

Thanks so much for inviting me to your blog! Well, I’m a writer of both teen and fiction for adults, in different subgenres of multicultural, suspense, and paranormal. I love to also write short fiction. My latest is a monster hunting series called SUPERNATURAL HUNTERS with teen characters Jaz and Blake.

2. We see that you are a great example of where this country is going as far being racially and culturally diverse. On your website, it states that you are a writer of "multicultural" teen novels. How do you define being a "multicultural" writer?

An author who writes characters that deal with issues in their lives that involve their culture.

3. I notice many of your main characters have "Spanish" surnames. You happen to be Mexican, Filipina and Italian. Each of those have surnames related to romance languages, but for Mexicans and Filipinos it is very common to have a Spanish surname. Is it correct to assume your main protagonists could be Latina, Asian or both?

In GRAFFITI GIRL and INVISIBLE TOUCH, the main characters are Latinas. I hope to write a book that blends cultures one day.
