Listeners, we're back this week with Veronica Gutierrez.

Veronica Gutiérrez is the author of Bella Books’ upcoming As You Look, a mystery novel. She is a former community organizer, civil rights attorney, and corporate executive. She draws from years of experience in those worlds for her fiction. Veronica was born and raised in Boyle Heights, the Los Angeles neighborhood that her protagonist, Yolanda Avila, calls home. Veronica and her wife Laura split their time between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Both are home bar enthusiasts and avid travelers. They host cocktail-lesson-themed fundraisers—called Mixology on a Mission—to help Los Angeles non-profits grow their donor base. Veronica published My Little Black Cocktail Book, a journal to organize her research and help others do the same.
