ello, I am Art Rodriguez, a writer and author of three non-fiction books. My first novel East Side Dreams has also been translated into Spanish under the title of Suenos Del Lado Este. The Monkey Box, my second book, is a biography of my great-grandparents who lived in Chiapas, Mexico. It isn't poetry, but close to it and it is an exciting book that all will enjoy. My titles are designed for all races. Latinos and Latinas will appreciate them even more as Hispanic people can relate to growing up in our American neighborhoods. My books can be found in your local library. If not, the library resources can attain them for you. My literature helps young adults who are in street gangs to see that they do have a future. My new book, Forgotten Memories, which is also my autobiography and a sequel to East Side Dreams, will be released August 1, 2002. However, it is available now. You will enjoy reading them. You have to order them!

As a writer, I tried to produce books that are suitable for all ages. My books are written without profanity so that young people, as well as all adults, may read and enjoy the stories that are shared.
