Together, we're racing ahead, one compelling book at a time.
Caballo Press of Ann Arbor
| Strictly E-Books With the publishing industry making the transition from traditional book publications to online digital publications, Caballo Press of Ann Arbor is set to follow suit by offering select publications as strictly online digital publications. This will enable us to begin the process of offering publications in a variety of genres and to transition to a press that offers its publications strictly in e-book format. The first of these digital publications is titled La Mesa (The Table). It is written by our CEO and Publisher Rudolph Alvarado. |
La Mesa (The Table) is award-winning biographer and historian Rudolph Valier Alvarado's first work of fiction to be
published in any format. La Mesa is a short story based on his life growing up in West Texas. Antonio is a
Mexican-American boy who longs to work under the hot West Texas sun hoeing weeds with his father and his older
brothers and sisters. But until he's old enough to work the fields he must help his mother tend to their yard sale.
Reflecting on this experience, a grown Antonio imparts the story of a lesson he gleaned one day when a rich man
in a long car of a rich person offered his mother a king's ransom for her dining room table.
"La Mesa," Alvarado said of the piece, "is really the first of a series of short stories based on life lessons I learned
while growing up on a West Texas farm and in the city of Lubbock, Texas. Living in Michigan today, I miss my family
and friends that still live in Lubbock, but most of all, I miss my days as a boy growing up under an endless West
Texas sky."
