Biting Off More Than I Can Chew--On Purpose

My brain, as I have discussed before, likes to think at all times. I don't know why, and frankly I wish it didn't. But this time I'm letting it fly--and fly it has. For a while now I've had a couple books I've been working on little by little, adding a couple words here and there every so often. But lately, I've been really impressed to pursue a particular book and as time goes by I feel like it becomes more relevant to me today.
The thing that made me make up my mind to spend some quality time on it was a proposition by two good friends of mine, also writers (but far better than I. . .). And so, I am a part of my first author's club. 
This book will be about Carlos Romero, a man living in Latin America who decides to pick up stakes and move to the United States. This book is a commentary on this country's ever changing struggle to cope with the millions of people who immigrate looking for the promised land that the US itself has advertised around the world.
We'll see how this little booger does.
