Living at Night, novel

Erica García, young, sensual, and in love, is a 2nd generation Puerto Rican lesbian in the 1970s. "Working as an aide in a home for developmentally delayed women, Erica becomes a compassionate, credible advocate for populations most of the world would just as soon forget; the book is more than just Erica's story; in fact, Living at Night zeroes in on the Big Questions: the multiple meanings of life, death, love and friendship; an audacious fictional debut by a highly talented and original storyteller." Sojourner.

"Well-written, absorbing. A healing read!" Julia Alvarez

Cuentos: Stories By Latinas
co-edited by Mariana Romo-Carmona, Cherrie Moraga, and Alma Gomez

Published by Kitchen Table: Women of Color Press in 1983
"How I have longed to begin to know these Latinas: That is what I thought as I sat reading Cuentos in anticipation and joy. What a new but comfortingly familiar world opens up through this book: How connected I feel. How can anyone ever have said we are not sisters? And writers? And saviors of our culture? Yes."
Alice Walker

Speaking like an Immigrant

Speaking like an Immigrant is a collection that celebrates Romo-Carmona's ability to tell a story. Her characters spark the imagination-- Latin American surrealism, Latina politics, or post modern literature with a bite-- Romo-Carmona's narrative resists categories. Speaking like an Immigrant... is a collection of short stories that are at times surreal, ironic, poetic, and fanciful. Her characters subvert the stereotype of the immigrant pursuing the American dream. She tells the stories of a Catholic schoolgirl romance, a witch who sails a pirate ship, an urban lesbian with a mission, a 22nd-century healer, and more. These are lovely, vivid stories. Highly recommended!" Feminist Bookstore News

Conversaciones: Winner of the 2002 Lambda Book Award

"Conversaciones, es un manifiesto útil y valiente, escrito con la voz inquebrantable de amor que solo un padre o madre puede sentir por sus hijos."
Cristina Saralegui, El Show de Cristina.

"Conversaciones is a vital resource for Latino families. Each year we have far too many adolescents who commit suicide because they cannot discuss their sexual orientation. Tragedies like these can be prevented. This is a book that must be read by all who seek to foster healthy and loving families."
Antonio Villaraigosa, Speaker Emeritus of the California State Assembly.
